Skin problems

Hello Friends! I am on Metformin and Alogliptin for over a year and a half. It’s not bad enough dealing with M.S. for 30 years. I was wondering if anyone has to deal with terrible hand and feet issues in regards to cracked and peeling skin, painful peeling areas, and hand dermatitis? TYSM.

  1. , thanks for your question. I hope others will chime in to share their experiences. That sounds painful. There are many in the community that also experience skin symptoms... and cold weather in the winter certainly doesn't help. Have you had a chance to bring this up with your doctor yet? While you wait for others to share their experiences, you might find some of these articles helpful: https://type2diabetes.com/complications/skin, https://type2diabetes.com/living/skin-care, https://type2diabetes.com/living/itchy-skin. Hope you may find some relief soon. Warmly, Minel (Team Member)
