Question

I had severe itching after starting metformin which caused temporary welts all over my body so my doctor advised me to stop taking the metformin. However, even after a week, the itching has not subsided. I sure hope it will soon.

Answer

It's unclear to me whether your physician actually saw your itching and welts. Since it's still lingering, there's a possibility it's something else. You need to see your physician for proper evaluation and advice regarding what to do next.
