I've been taking metformin, and now I'm noticing these skin rashes that seem like an allergic reaction. Is there another medication I could try instead of metformin?

If you are experiencing allergic reactions to metformin, an alternative medication that can be considered is "Glipizide". The usual starting dose of Glipizide is 5 mg taken orally once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
