Has anyone had problems with breakouts on there face from taking metformin?!
Question: within the past 2 weeks ive been getting alot of tiny breakouts on my face. i started taking metformin about a little over 2 weeks ago. but it could be from two other things. i also stopped taking depo provera (birthcontrol shot) about 4 months ago. i also work in a machine shop and i work around different coolent and oil from the machines i run. i had a problem with breakouts on my arms last summer cause of the coolent. i have a doctors appointment march 25, but just wondering what it could be until then.

Hi, my skin has actually cleared up a LOT after starting metformin in November 2007. But it took a couple months.
I am not on birth control med right now, but when I am it usually helps my complexion too, so maybe stopping the shots has something to do with it?
Caveats:
* I have PCOS.
* I have also majorly cut back on my sugar intake and I think that has helped my skin-- how's your diet?
Took metformin for many years and never had the problem
I have never taken metformin but it could because people respond to different medicines in different ways. So it is possible.
