Good info. I've had a rash for years. Long before my diagnosis of diabetes. Several docs think it may be the different meds I take; many of which have rash as a side affect. Anyway, I've been to specialists. Now, I'll be going to a different one early next year. I am so tired of the itchy feeling (I have medication, but it doesn't always work), and it looks awful. Even my spouse is uncomfortable touching my skin; although I've told him 100s of times it is not contagious. I would love for it to just go away and never come back.
