Itchy skin

I've been suffering from skin rashes since the day we arrived from Bohol. At first, I thought that it was only because of the sudden change of weather. It was raining in Bohol when we left and 'twas so hot in Manila when we arrived. Rashes started appearing on my forearms after a day. Now, even my legs have them. I am able to resist scratching them if I can but I'm sure I'm scratching when I'm asleep. I'm careful not to have blisters and scars, though. That would be a big problem for a diabetic like me.

Aside from washing the rashes with mild soap and putting on anti-itch lotion. I drink lots of liquids to make my skin more supple and less itchy. The hot summer weather is making things worse. Sometimes, I get ice cubes and rub them on my rashes to make the itch go away. We also vacuum our rugs to get rid of the dust and dustmites. I hope the rashes disappear soon. It's becoming bothersome and ugly already.

Hope you can share tips on how to treat these itchy rashes.

There are indeed many complications of diabetes we must not ignore even if it's just a hint. There's no turning back if it gets worse. I just had my monthly check up and I'm glad I did a good work in controlling my blood glucose. I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic type II. Take care!
