Dry skin care in people with diabetes
12/27/2015 12:32 p.m.
Dry skin is not an aesthetic problem, but a disease called xerosis, which is characterized by itching, pruritus, peelexation, inflammation with ease, little elasticity, becomes rough, begins to present grooves and is susceptible to infections and break it easilywhat could detonate in ulcers.
People with diabetes suffer from this condition because they begin to have circulation problems and the skin does not "receive" the necessary blood and nutrients, explains Dr. David O. Ramírez Nurseries, a dermatologist surgeon.
In particular, the specialist does, people with diabetes must use creams with great moisturizing capacity, and also help the skin to maintain that humidity during the day.In particular, those that contain urea, a molecule that hydrates, helps to regulate the fluid retention system, maintain blood pressure or eliminate excess toxins and that functions as a sealant in order to prevent the moisture of the skin from beinglose.
The application must be carried out at least twice a day and especially in the next three minutes after having finished bathe, removing a bit of the skin, since at this time it is when its ability to better absorb the better absorbcream that is applied to the surface.
The specialist explains that dryness especially in patients with atopic dermatitis or diabetes is mainly accentuated in two times of the year: in summer, because the sweat that we "secrete" does not serve to hydrate the skin but quite the opposite.
And in winter by the cold the skin is more easily dry, manifesting itself with itching.
In order to avoid skin complications, the specialist recommends going to the dermatologist at least once a year, to perform a review and if he has any discomfort, the doctor indicates an adequate treatment as a prevention measure.
Having dry skin is a disease;People who have diabetes are prone to keep in mind this discomfort, therefore, they must follow medical indications and perform all the exercises that are recommended, to recover and not present annoying symptoms.

At home the same happens, Alberto had long dry skin.The dermatologist told us what everyone, a lot of hygiene and moisturizing cream .... but it improved little.We did not blame for diabetes at first.In the end we discover Karité butter, it is not cheap.But it is not very expensive as other cosmetics.In addition, using it a couple of times a week is enough.Holy hand.The skin recovers elasticity and moisture.
We also had another problem, lipodystrophies and insensitivity in the legs to abuse this area in insulin injections.With this product it has also improved a lot.I recommend it.On the Internet there are several sites with different prices, from € 4.55 to € 15 per 100ml.
We have € 3.99 per 100ml.
I really recommend it.

Reflot this thread of 2015 (I found this message on Google)
A few months ago because of the theme of the diabetic foot, they told me to throw a moisturizer and that I have very fine feet, without cracks or roughness, I have always had them very well.But according to my nurse I have to hydrate them.I have bought 5 creams of different special brands for hydration in diabetic PIE (neutrogen, Spanish Institute, Eudermin, and one with Urea of the Spanish Institute and another that have recommended me with olive oil of the Mercadona).I have been testing them and with all I get the same result my skin does not absorb them, I do not know if it will be their composition, because I end up to my noses with wet feet !!, it is already quite uncomfortable having to throw them to give that result.The neutrogenic that is utrahydrating says that it is absorbed between 20 seconds and 1 minute .... nothing or smiling ....

I am going to order this, I hope it is as they say it is and not another because
Karité butter is said that the best is the one that is unrelated, what happens is that it smells very bad when it is so pure and should have a color to ivory.You are paying € 40 per kilo when you can have it for € 18 kilo € 1.80 100ml in this link

Creams with urea.There are different percentages.If it is very dry on the heels, 30% urea, but with 10% is sufficient.
