Can Diabetes Cause Skin Rash?
I am 57 years old male. I m a diabetic. I have a rash on my arms that seems to get better once I go to bed at night, but once I get up in the mornings, it gets worse. I have put lotion and antibiotic creams on it. It itches me to death at time and feels like bees stinging me. Any ideas?

HI
Well come to HCM
Itching is would be most common manifestation of diabetic, even this can be happen with the known case of diabetic and this may be sign of uncontrolled diabetes, if this is so, in your case then the blood sugar need to be controlled on tight rule bases, no need to apply any antibiotic cream or taking any antihistamine for this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
