Sharing experience, legs

Hello, I just registered in the forum, my name is Esther and I am a diabetic since I, I have gone to dermatologists and they have not given me a concise answer about what I have, I would like to know if someone here is in the same situation as me and if there are possibilities of operation among others ...
I would love to have different opinions about this topic.
Thank you very much and greetings !!!!

Hello, Esther.

If several dermatologists do not know how to tell you what it can be, it will be difficult for us to know, and less without knowing how stains are.

May I know, diabetes does not usually produce spots, but it can associate dermatitis.There is also a type of depigmentation spots (white spots) that can be a symptom of vitiligo, which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs in diabetics.

In any case, welcome home.

Welcome to the forum, Ester.Angela had some spots (fungi) on his legs, which disappeared soon, I don't know if it will be the same.Anyway, as Alea says, if specialists do not answer you, we can do little.Let's see if there is luck and disappear.
Greetings

Hello, thanks for answering, the stains that I have seem like burns on the skin and I have them from knee down, the dermatologist told me that they usually appear when you have bad sugar controls for some specific time of time, and prescribed some pills.
The spots appear without more and I would like to know if they can disappear with some treatment etc ... if I could contact someone who is in the same situation would be great.Or from some professional burns can contrast certain things on this matter.

Thank you so much

Hi Esther
It does not sound to me to have read anything that associates the spots on the legs and diabetes.The only thing that occurs to me is a circulation problem but you are too young for that ... they are stains that are usually associated with neuropathy, but in your case I don't think that is that

The vitiligo is very common among which we have diabetes, I suppose the dermatologist will have ruled out.

Consult the endocrine, sometimes they know more than dermatologists.

Thank you very much for the information, I will continue investigating to see ...

I know it is a theme three months ago, but I am new here ... and I have not been able to avoid it ... I have those spots too, it is called lipoid necrobiosis, and they begin with the appearance of a burn.Mias are inactive but be careful that grow and reproduce like mushrooms.
better late than never!

Do you have treatment, Lola?
What are you due to?I'm afraid that autoimmune, right?

Now they are very calm and dry so I don't have treatment.
They came out 15 years ago, they are not fungi but they grow very quickly.It is an atrophy of the skin.At first I did not give importance but in a week it grew a lot.I had it on my ankle, someone asked me if I had burned with the escape tube of a motorcycle, it looked like a burn.And they started chopping and the edges were bulky.The endocrine sent me to the dermatologist who made me a biopsy and told me that it was lipoid necrobiosis due to a bad regulation of diabetes.They sent me a cortisone cream, and to make me more effect it was thrown every night and covered it with a paper of these transperative for the sandwiches, so that it absolute it well.Also home remedies as lemon juice (this idea of ​​mine).I take a year in which they "dry" and since then they are inactive but the brand remains there forever.
Years ago they came out again on my knee, this time a little deeper and my knee hurt, how they were deeper they had to hit a cortisone chute in the knee, but the problem was well solved.

It is not very serious, it is simply upset ........

Hello, if it is possible that poorly controlled diabetes affects the skin, dermatitis also occurs in diabetics, I give me outbreaks when my control is pepper.I would recommend you to dermatologist, and try to hydrate your skin well and control the sugar.

Hello everyone, in my case I also present those red spots on the legs which the dermatologist told me after a biopsy that was a lipoid necrobiosis.The first appeared about three years ago when I was 18 years old and the last ones I have a little less.I have noticed how some of them have been growing, I have tried thousands of treatments with creams, corticosteroids and pills, but I see no benefit.I am desperate has affected me quite psychologically since for everything that I have been reading this disease is chronic and is usually going worse.Has anyone cured or observed any improvement in their case?I have even raised to operate but I do not have an operation.
Thank you very much for your answers, I need help!

I also have one and that is, lipoid necrobiosis.Mine started as if it were a granite and gradually grew to be like a burn.I also receive cream treatment, but ... that neither disappears nor for the moment it goes to more.I've been with good control years but I suppose the years of lack of control will be tacked.

Hi Lola Limon juice helps you dry the spots?When are they dry?My dermatologist has recommended home remedies of the herbalist also but I don't know which to use

According to Leo in an Italian site, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has solved the problem in some diabetic patients suffering from this problem, but it is important to achieve good results that glucosylated hemoglobin is well below 9 (g/d), some should be done somecycles, for what I read.Later is the comment of a young man who writes (lives in Germany): "The new doctors have prescribed a ointment called" protopic 0.1 "and a medium compressive ... The ointment alone has not given great results .. theMedia took 2 weeks to arrive ... but from the moment I used it, necrobiosis was cured in 5-6 days, leaving only the skin a little dark in the place where it was infested ".... Hopefully this helps them!!! ... I leave the direction of the site but it is in Italian 8- |

Hello everyone.I have been with those injuries for four years and three dermatologists.I have just diagnosed lipoid necrobiosis.So far I have tried with oral cortisone and in ointment but have not been resolved.Little by little they have been growing, I am a bit desperate with the appearance and evolution.Today they have put an intral treatment with more cortisone, although the dermatologist is not very optimistic to work.In my case I am not a diabetic, so it took so long to diagnose the disease, because it usually associated with diabetes.It would be of great help if someone who was resolved to share it, to give us some hope.Thank you and that you do well.
