Re: Metformin causing rash???From: Becky (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 12 Mar 2003 15:13:22 -0500
I would try using Cortisone creme. This way, if it helps, you know that it is an allergic reaction to something and probably not the medicine. Have you contacted your MD? -----Original Message----- From: Tammie [mailto:anonymous@obgyn.net Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 3:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PCOS-MEDICATION Subject: Metformin causing rash??? I am currently in my fifth week of taking metformin and have developed this rash on my chest and face that looks similar to the measles or chicken pox, but I had both of those as a child. None of the literature I have read indicates any skin reaction to metformin. I had the usual suite of GI side effects although to a lesser degree thanks to my doctor's foresight in ramping up my dosage over three weeks. I would think that this would have shown up earlier. The only other suspect is a new pillow which has since been kicked out of the bed due to the development of the rash and it has not improved.
