Re: Metformin causing rash???

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?

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.
