Hard to know what you mean by a break out without actually seeing it. Are you having an allergic reaction to the new medication? You should see the Doctor Who prescribed the medication or if you are havin anyother symptoms, go to an urgent care or emergency room. Good luck.

If you are talking about acne when you say "breakout," it is possible that it is related to the switch in birth control. Acne is partially regulated by hormones, so this could have affected the amount of acne you are having. Some people are treated with birth control pills for their acne. I would let your doctor know so that if this doesn't improve, they may need to switch again.
