If you have diabetes, it's crucial to be aware of skin problems that can arise due to the condition and seek medical advice before they worsen. Early diagnosis and treatment can manage most skin issues related to diabetes. One such problem is Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD), a rash that often appears on women. It looks like a discolored shiny scar with violet borders and can itch and become scaly. NLD is associated with blood vessel inflammation due to autoimmune factors and type 1 diabetes. Managing your diabetes effectively is key to preventing these skin problems. Follow your healthcare provider's advice on nutrition, exercise, and medication. Keep your blood sugar levels within the recommended range. Proper skin care can also help reduce the risk of skin issues related to diabetes.
