Understanding Diabetic Skin Conditions
It’s no secret that those living with diabetes often experience ongoing skin issues. Dryness, itching, and irritation are common due to elevated blood sugar levels.
These symptoms can weaken the skin barrier, leaving the skin more vulnerable to infections and inflammation (American Diabetes Association, 2023).
Common Skin Conditions Linked to Diabetes
Diabetic Dermopathy
Characterised by small brown patches or spots, usually appearing on the lower legs. These often go unnoticed but reflect changes in the blood vessels.
Xerosis (Dry Skin)
Xerosis is a common challenge for diabetic skin, leading to rough, flaky areas that may crack and become painful if left untreated.
Fungal Infections
When skin becomes too dry or compromised, fungal infections can thrive—particularly in warm, moist areas like between the toes. This is because the immune system struggles to fight off fungal growth effectively.
