What Causes A Rash In The Armpit After Taking Metformin?
Since taking metformin I now have a huge rash in my armpit area - I have used 3 anti fungal creams and now the doctor put me on a by mouth fungal medicine but it caused me to be so revved up my heart races and I cannot sleep - it cleared it up in 7 days after 60 days of battling this but once I stopped it came right back- it seems it is metformin but I need metformin to control diabetes

don't stop you're metformin...keep you're hygiene...do take bath daily and change you're clothes...and apply ur anti fungal cream like candid B for like 2 months even after the symptoms releaved because it may reccurence...and take you're full course of antibiotics...and eat less carbohydrates food...and check ur blood sugars regularly.....I hope this resolved you're issue's
