Skin spots can indicate diabetes
6:54:19 2023-05-11 1595

Diabetes is defined as a lifelong and altering condition that causes blood sugar levels to become too high.

There are two types of diabetes - type 1 and type 2. While it's not known what causes type 1, type 2 is often associated with being overweight or being lethargic, although genetics can play a role.

Both types mean that patients will have to adjust their lifestyles by following certain diets, taking medications and having regular check-ups in order to stay healthy.

As with any medical condition, the sooner symptoms of diabetes are detected, the sooner appropriate treatment can be sought.

However, there are lesser known symptoms that can appear on the skin.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, diabetic dermopathy is a potential complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The spots most commonly appear on the shins, although they can be found on any part of the body. They can be pink, red or brown.

The clinic explains: “Diabetes-related dermopathy (often called ‘leg spots’) is a fairly common skin condition affecting people with diabetes, including type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Dermatopathy appears associated with diabetes as small, round, pink, red or brown spots on your skin. They can look like scars and have an indentation. They are generally 1 to 2.5 cm in size. The spots are harmless and do not itch, secrete fluid or cause pain.

Other distinguishing features of the spots include:

  • Round or oval.
  • Slightly reddened into your skin and/or somewhat scaly.
  • Bilateral, meaning they appear on the skin of your legs or arms at the same time.

It is not known exactly what causes diabetic dermopathy, however, researchers believe it may be caused by previous trauma to the skin.

This may be due to an injury or extreme heat from cold, especially in people with neuropathy — a type of nerve damage caused by chronically high blood sugar. It is also more common among the elderly and those who have had diabetes for a long time.
