Itching of the skin, fungal infections and diabetes

"Of all people with diabetes, 30 to 70 percent have dermatological symptoms and diseases," said Monica Collier, president of the German Diabetes Association"Diabetes is closely related to the skin, and more than 50 skin diseases are associated with metabolic diseasesThe cause of the disease's interaction is not entirely clear, "probably due to the deposition of sugary substances in the skin, as well as a weakened immunity to protect against fungal and bacterial infections." The most common skin diseasesdiabetics include brown, scarring, round spots, and if such spots are found on the tibia, forearm or foot, check fasting blood sugar with a specialistAnother warning sign fordiabetes is severe, persistent fungal infections in the foot, groin or underarms, under the breast, vagina or anal areaDermatologist Professor Fleur said: "Fungal infections with chronic itching are considered to be the hallmark of diabetes"White candida is the most common pathogenSimilarly, blood sugar levels must be measured frequently, "once blood sugar levels return to normal, fungal infections can usually be successfully treated with local creams and suppositories." "
nail funstic splinters that cause thickening, stains, and brittle ness, are particularly dangerous for diabetics, as nail damage is a gateway for bacteria that can promote diabetic foot syndromeDiabetes specialist Connelly Utke said: "For people with diabetes, repairing nails and removing fungi is not a cosmetic issue, but a medical imperative, with hand and foot care performed by a specialist doctor"Bacteria that enter the body through tiny foot wounds can even cause serious wound infectionsBecause sometimes pathogens are not only streptococcus, but staphylococcus, they can become resistant to a variety of antibioticsmany diabetics have dry skin, it can cause intense itching, and patients can scratch themselves in various parts of the bodyIf classical therapies such as canine cream or antihistamines do not reduce itching, doctors should be wary of unresponsive unstable itching, which may be a sign of kidney impairment in diabetic patients, and dermatologists need a nephrologist to cooperate with treatmentdiabetics can also do something about their skin healthMoisturizing care products containing glycerin, Ubiquinol, golden plum, aloe vera, vitamin E and urea are particularly suitable.
