Relieve Skin Problems In Diabetes With Homeopathy

Among the various body organs that can be affected by diabetes, skin is one of the prominent ones. In some cases, symptoms start appearing on the skin in the pre-diabetic stage. Diabetic people are prone to a wide range of skin problems. Some common ones are explained here. The first among these is dry skin. The second complaint can be itchy skin resulting from dryness of the skin and poor blood circulation. Though dry and itchy skin is not a specific condition occurring in diabetes and can occur in non-diabetics too if one has diabetes, he/she is more prone to suffer from skin problems. The third condition is acanthosis nigricans in which there is darkening and thickening of the skin in the skin folds. It happens from insulin resistance and tends to affect the armpits, neck fold and groin area. Another skin condition in diabetics may be foot ulcers which refer to an open sore on the foot that is usually painless. It begins with a small wound. Due to nerve damage and poor blood circulation, wound healing becomes difficult. Another condition is diabetic dermopathy, also known as shin spots, which refers to brown or red round spots on the skin. These form on the front side of the legs (shins). Another skin condition due to diabetes is diabetic blisters, also known as diabetic bullae, that form on the lower legs and feet and can also develop on the toes, hands, fingers, and arms. These look white and are painless. The blisters that form are irregular in shape and have a clear fluid. They usually occur in clusters and can be itchy. One more skin condition is digital sclerosis. In this condition, there is thickening of the skin on the back of hands, fingers or toes. Thickening may also occur on the shoulders, arms and upper back. Besides the above, some skin conditions can occur in any person (whether diabetic or non–diabetic) but diabetic people are more prone to these conditions. Such conditions include fungal infections like oral thrush, vaginal yeast infections, athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock’s itch and fungal infection with candida albicans. Oral thrush refers to fungal infection in the mouth. Vaginal yeast infections refer to fungal infection in the vagina resulting in vaginal discharge, irritation or itching in the vagina. Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection of the feet which usually begins in the area between the toes. Ringworm is a fungal infection causing ring-shaped lesions on the skin. Jock’s itch is a fungal infection in the groin area i.e. crease where the lower abdomen and thighs join. Other skin conditions may include bacterial infections like boils and abscesses which are lumps containing pus. Cellulitis is a serious bacterial infection involving deep layers of the skin.
