Title: Diabetic Dermopathy and How to Save Our Skin From It


1
Overview Diabetic dermopathy is commonly termed
as pigmented pretibial patches or shin spots. It
is the type of diabetes skin problem that usually
affects the lower portion of the legs. Diabetic
Dermopathy is believed to have developed from
changes that occurred in the blood vessels. These
changes result in the leakage of blood products
from the blood vessels to the skin. That results
in the formation of lesions-like structure. The
root cause of this skin problem has not yet been
identified. Trauma or injury in diabetic
patients is believed to cause diabetic
dermopathy. Also, the disease shows no evident
variations between the non-insulin dependent and
insulin- dependent diabetic patients. Whos at
risk? The people who have diabetes have the
highest chances of being affected by diabetes
skin problem. More than 50 of the people are
found to have spotted shins. Also, people who
have poorly controlled diabetes are at serious
risk. Old-aged people or the ones with prolonged
diabetes life are attacked by Diabetes
dermopathy. People without diabetes can have skin
lesions too, but only after an injury. What is
Diabetes and Its Uncommon Symptoms? Causes The
exact reason for diabetes dermopathy has not yet
been identified. It generally occurs due to
vascular or neuropathic complications. Diabetic
patients with neuropathy, nephropathy, and
retinopathy suffer too. Patients who have had
diabetes for more than 10-20 years are at higher
risks. Diabetes skin lesions are associated with
glycosylated haemoglobin. That is an indication
for uncontrolled blood sugar level. Diabetic
dermopathy could respond to a traumatic
situation or an injury. It generally, affects the
bony parts of the body such as the shins. Signs
and Symptoms Generally, diabetic dermopathy or
Diabetes skin rash will vary in the colours and
textures of skin lesions formed. It at times
appears as pink to red, and in others, it is
either tanned or forms dark brown patches. These
dark spots usually
