Symptoms that appear on the skin of diabetic patients are severe

Health Desk: Diabetes is called the 'silent killer' because there is no permanent treatment for it. Once he gets it, he has to fight it for the rest of his life.

Uncontrolled blood sugar starts to damage every organ in the patient's body. This disease does not only affect the kidneys, liver or eyes but affects every organ in the body.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD), diabetes can affect many parts of the body, including your skin. When the blood sugar level increases, various symptoms appear on the skin. There are some signs that you should notice that your blood sugar level is going out of control. Know about the symptoms-

Yellow, red or brown spots on the skin

In medical terms it is called necrobiosis lipoidica. This is a sign of diabetes. In this case, small pimples appear on the skin, which look like acne. Later it takes the form of spots, which can be yellow, red or brown.

Dark spots on the skin

Dark spots may appear on the neck, armpits, groin, or other areas when blood sugar levels begin to rise. This could mean that your blood sugar is high. This is often a sign of pre-diabetes. In medical terms it is called acanthosis nigricans.

Skin tightening

Sometimes the skin on the fingers and toes becomes hard or thickened, which is called digital sclerosis. This can cause the finger to become stiff and difficult to move. If diabetes is not controlled, the skin on the back, shoulders and neck can also become thick.

Blisters

It's rare, but people with diabetes can develop sudden skin blisters. It can be one or more. Blisters usually occur on the hands, feet, legs, or arms.

skin infection

People with diabetes are more prone to skin infections. It can cause pain, swelling and sometimes itching or rash on the skin. Many may have symptoms such as small blisters and dry scaly skin.

The wound does not heal

If you have a sore that doesn't heal easily, it's a sign of diabetes. Long-term high blood sugar can cause nerve damage. This disrupts blood flow, making it harder for wounds to heal.

Other symptoms of diabetes

Having diabetes can cause long scars on the calf muscles of the feet, called diabetic dermopathy. It can also cause a red-yellow rash on the skin, which often looks like a pimple.

Many times it is seen that diabetic patients have to face excessive itching and dryness of the skin. Yellow scaly patches, called xanthelasma, may also develop on and around the eyelids.
