Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with Foliculitis.
When I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes just under a year ago, I started to notice dark round circles on my legs. I asked the doctor about it, who just said it was a rash. I later started to develop some pain in the areas with the dark round circles, which prompted the doctor to have another look at it. I was then referred to a Dermatologist who told me it was Foliculitis. He just told me to moistuirse the areas with creams like E45. Due to my uncontrolled sugars I developed Foliculitis, and with good management of my sugar levels, it can stop the spread.
He also told me although good management can stop the spread, it can still take a while to clear, and in some people it may not clear so to just be patient. As it was just on my legs which can be covered with clothes, I was fine with that, however it has started to spread to my face.
My sugars levels are more controlled now than before, so I am unsure as to the recent spread.
Does anyone have any advice?
