I have seen many people say that Glucophage has cleared their skin, but I was wondering if anybody has experienced acne taking it? I have never had trouble with acne, but I have noticed the last few days my face breaking out. I dont know if it is from the Glucophage or from something else. I normally never have a problem.  |

Has the acne corresponded with starting an exercise program? I notice that I have worse breakouts when I exercise. It really helps to was your face with an antibacterial soap IMMEDIATELY after working out...do not pass go, do not collet $200! 
Just a thought!
It sounds like you are doing great with your weight loss by the way...I am so jealous!

Have you just started the met?
I found that mine got worse at first (and more painful for some reason) but now after being on it for nearly two months, it is generally a lot better!

Yes, I have only been on it for 1.5 weeks. I called my OB doctor today to see what could be done. They told me this is normal. It just means by body is doing what it should be. The NP told me its like my body going through puberty. Great. Just what I wanted to hear...33 years old and going through puberty.  | |

I started taking Metformin in may and i noticed in august that i started breaking out really bad on my face. I thought it would go away but it kept on getting worse and worse, when i went to my doctor he also but me on birth control (ortho tri cyclen) in hopes that it would help with the acne. It took about a month before it helped, i still have some pimples here and there but overall its better. | |

Well, I think I figured out the problem....AF is here!!!!! I use to just break when she would visit. I am hoping this is the problem. I normally have very clear skin and it was really upsetting to have this problem. Its bad enough the other zillion problems I have because of PCOS.  | |
