Skin Manifistation of Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a common disease affecting about 8% of the adult population. Diabetics have high blood sugar levels, which if left uncontrolled, can lead to long-term complications affecting various organs in the body. Skin is one of them. It has been suggested that deep structural changes of collagen in diabetic patients are responsible for the fact that their skin is generally thicker than that of non-diabetics. Bacterial and fungal skin infections, mainly candidiasis, are skin lesions most common to Diabetes. Treatment with antibiotics usually is not effective enough and causes frequent side effects.

Diabetic dermatopathy
This is the commonest skin disease seen in diabetics. Skin signs are commonly found over the shins and appear as brown scars. The brown spots may be preceded by red or blistering spots. The cause is due to abnormal changes of small blood vessels in the skin.

Skin Infections
Diabetics are more prone to skin infections. Examples are boils and fungal infection. Some infections can be serious and require immediate medical attention eg. carbuncles, which are deep bacterial infections of the hair follicle (abscess) and cellulitis which is a deep skin infection. Cellulitis often presents as a red, hot and tender swelling of the leg.
