That sounds like a fairly unusual side effect. Maybe you have a touch of exzema which is closely related to asthma? But if you've just started taking it & got that problem straight away then I'd get an appointment fairly quickly to see if it's a known side effect.

You can also report suspected side effects from drugs here: yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/
