Can Diabetes Cause Extremely Itchy Rash On Right Calf?
I have a rash on my right calf. I have had it for about 7 years it never goes away. I am a diabetic, with my sugar levels in control. it itches so badly that I scratch it open a lot. what is causing this itch? I ve used steroids, steroidal cream and antibiotics nothing works.

Hi.
Fungal/yeast infections are very commonly associated with diabetics and so instead of all the medications you used, try a topical anti-fungal medication and let me know if it helps.
Best wishes.
