Diabetic Dermadrome is a term used to describe a group of skin conditions that can occur in people who have diabetes. These conditions include diabetic dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, diabetic blisters, and eruptive xanthomatosis.
Diabetic Dermopathy[edit]
Diabetic dermopathy is the most common skin condition in people with diabetes. It appears as small, round, brown patches on the skin, usually on the shins. The patches do not hurt, open up, or itch. Diabetic dermopathy is harmless and does not need to be treated.
Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum[edit]
Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD) is a rare skin condition that occurs in people with diabetes. It appears as raised, shiny, red-brown patches on the skin. Over time, the patches can become yellow and develop a shiny surface. NLD is more common in women than in men. The patches can be itchy and painful. Treatment may include topical steroids and, in some cases, laser therapy.
Diabetic Blisters[edit]
Diabetic blisters (bullosis diabeticorum) are rare and occur in people with diabetes who also have diabetic neuropathy. The blisters can occur on the hands, feet, legs, or forearms and look like the blisters that appear after a serious burn. Unlike the blisters caused by burns, these blisters are not painful. Treatment involves managing your blood sugar levels.
Eruptive Xanthomatosis[edit]
Eruptive xanthomatosis is a condition caused by uncontrolled diabetes. It appears as firm, yellow, pea-like bumps on the skin. The bumps can have a red halo and may itch. They are most often found on the backs of the hands, feet, arms, legs and buttocks. Treatment involves controlling your blood sugar levels.
