Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. These could be nerve-related, where the nerves in the skin get damaged, probably related to diabetes. This condition is also called as diabetic radiculopathy.
This would respond to medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. Strict sugar control is also important.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
