I saw a doctor and he gave me cortizone cream but it keep popping out in new spots in both places. What should I do?

Hi,
Diabetics can develop eczema, but it could also be a complication of diabetes also like dermopathy. For accurate diagnosis, you need to consult a good dermatologist as if it is not eczema, cortisone creams will provoke your skin disease.
Meanwhile, keep your skin dry and clean all the time.
All the best.
