DIABETES

Diabetes can affect many parts of your body, including your skin. When diabetes affects the skin, it’s often a sign that your blood sugar (glucose) levels are too high. This could mean that:

• You have undiagnosed diabetes, or pre-diabetes
• Your treatment for diabetes needs to be adjusted

If you notice any of the following warning signs on your skin, it’s time to talk with your doctor.

1. Extremely, dry itchy skin (skin xerosis)

Dry, itchy skin
If you have diabetes, you’re more likely to have dry skin. High blood sugar (glucose) can cause this. If you have a skin infection or poor circulation, these could also contribute to dry, itchy skin.

2. Outbreak of small, reddish-yellow bumps

When these bumps appear, they often look like pimples. Unlike pimples, they soon develop a yellowish color. You’ll usually find these bumps on the buttocks, thighs, crooks of the elbows, or backs of the knees. They can form anywhere though.

Possible complications: pancreatitis, and cardiovascular disease.

3. Skin tags

Many people have skin tags—skin growths that hang from a stalk. While harmless, having numerous skin tags may be a sign that you have too much insulin in your blood or type 2 diabetes.

Skin tags
These growths are most common on the eyelids, neck, armpit, and groin.

Possible complications: Scars, Excessive bleeding, Infection, Damadge the healthy nearby skin.

4. Red or skin-colored raised bumps

Granuloma annulare
This skin condition causes bumps and patches that may be skin-colored, red, pink, or bluish purple.

5. Shin spots

This skin condition causes spots (and sometimes lines) that create a barely noticeable depression in the skin. It’s common in people who have diabetes. The medical name is diabetic dermopathy. It usually forms on the shins. In rare cases, you’ll see it on the arms, thighs, trunk, or other areas of the body.

See how Cream 95g can help.

Possible complications: Diabetes-related dermopathy is strongly associated with the following complications of diabetes: Diabetes-related nephropathy (damage to your kidneys). Diabetes-related retinopathy (damage to the retina in your eye). Diabetes-related neuropathy (damage to your nerves).

6. Darker area of skin that feels like velvet

Acanthosis Nigricans (AN)
Often causing darker skin in the creases of the neck, AN may be the first sign that someone has diabetes.

See how Cream 95g can help.

Possible complications: Cosmetic disfigurement. Psychological distress. Acanthosis nigricans is an independent risk factor for the presence of diabetes. Complications associated with underlying disease, for example, obesity-associated complications.

7. Fungal Infection

Fungi, like bacteria, love to hang out in the moist folds of skin. That includes your armpits, under the breasts, around the nails, and the corners of the mouth. You may have heard it called athlete’s foot on your feet, jock itch around your genitals, or ringworm on your scalp. Candida albicans is the most common fungus that causes it. Your doctor can help treat the infection and tell you if it’s a sign of uncontrolled diabetes.

What are the possible complications of fungal infections?
Abscess formation. Endocarditis. Meningitis. Nephritis. Organ failure. Transplant rejection.

8. Hard, thickening skin

When this develops on the fingers, toes, or both, the medical name for this condition is digital sclerosis.
On the hands, you’ll notice tight, waxy skin on the backs of your hands. The fingers can become stiff and difficult to move. If diabetes has been poorly controlled for years, it can feel like you have pebbles in your fingertips.

9. Skin infections

People who have diabetes tend to get skin infections. If you have a skin infection, you’ll notice one or more of the following:

• Hot, swollen skin that is painful
• An itchy rash and sometimes tiny blisters, dry scaly skin, or a white discharge that looks like cottage cheese

See how Cream 95g can help.

Possible complications: The high sugar levels in your blood and tissues allow bacteria to grow and allow infections to develop more quickly.

10. Open sores and wounds

Having high blood sugar (glucose) for a long time can lead to poor circulation and nerve damage. You may have developed these if you’ve had uncontrolled (or poorly controlled) diabetes for a long time.
Poor circulation and nerve damage can make it hard for your body to heal wounds. This is especially true on the feet. These open wounds are called diabetic ulcers.

See how Cream 95g can help.

Possible complications: Diabetic ulcers on the feet are prone to skin infections, resulting in swelling around the wound site, foul-smelling drainage, fever and chills. If the infection spreads from the wound to the bone, the risk of amputation increases.

11. Necrobiosis Lipoidica

This skin condition often begins as small raised solid bumps that look like pimples. As it progresses, these bumps turn into patches of swollen and hard skin. The patches can be yellow, reddish, or brown.
The medical name for this condition is necrobiosis lipodica.

See how Cream 95g can help.

The major complication of the disease is the formation of an ulcer, mainly occurring after trauma. Uncommonly, infections can also occur. Moreover, if necrobiosis lipoidica becomes chronic, it may rarely turn into squamous cell carcinoma. The cause of necrobiosis lipoidica remains unknown.

12. Blisters - bullosis diabetricorum

Blisters
Large blisters like this one can form on the skin of people who have diabetes.
The medical name for this condition is bullosis diabetricorum. Sometimes, it’s called diabetic bullae.

See how Cream 95g can help.

Possible complications: The biggest risk with diabetic blisters comes from a secondary infection, so preventative care and expert wound care play important parts in mitigating more dire risks.
