Have Red Rash On Upper Chest And Chin Face Area, Itchy, Slightly Raised. Got Diabetes

I have a bright red rash on my upper chest and chin-face area. It is itchy and slightly raised. The intensity or reddness varies. I have had some redness for awhile now but the itching is much worse. Kept me up last night. I am very fair skinned and have uncontrolled diabetes. What could it be? I am 67 year old. YYYY@YYYY
