What Causes Red And Splotchy Skin Rashes On The Legs?
Hi, I ve developed a skin rash on both of my legs that is red and Splotchy ? It s mostly on the front of my leg and runs from my ankle to mid-calf area. Possibly due to the side effects of Metformin? or some laundry soap that transferred from my jeans yesterday. Is a rash on the legs a side effect of Metformin?

Hi,
Rash on legs is not a symptom of Metformin as such. If there is no itching involved, then it is not allergic or drug reaction or any fungal infection. Please visit a local doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
