Acanthosis nigricans: You might have acanthosis nigricans which can be a sign of diabetes which is why your doc prescribed you metformin to improve your sensitivity to insulin. Pay attention to what you eat & get physically active. Lose belly fat & hopefully your skin will return to normal & you might be able to stop medication under his/her watch.
