Hi,

I do not think Vitamin C tablets can cause a rash on face. Please double check the ingredient of the tablet. Also, re-check whether you are on any other drug other than vitamin C.

Avoid vitamin C tablets for a few weeks and look for improvement of rash. If there is improvement, the chances of the rash being an reaction to vitamin C is high.

Do not hesitate to consult a Doctor immediately if the rash worsens or if you have any associated symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
