Hello welcome to the forum
I don't take gliclazide myself but if any medication gave me persistent side effects I would see my gp as soon as possible.
Here's a link to some info on gliclazide

No longer on glicazade but I do suffer terribly with rashes, mainly in the groin and hip areas but also around my neck.

Tried all sorts of things and some work temporarily but have found a combination of Canestan for one day and Witch hazel for 3 days to be the best compromise.

Witch hazel in particular gives an almost instant soothing effect, might be worth trying.

Thanks I am going to Dr just to make sure its nothing contagious.Have only tried anti histamine and pro polis but have witch hazel,so will try.Thanks for sharing
