cutaneous disorders associated with diabetes | acanthosis nigricans, diabetic dermaopathy, diabetic bullae, necrobiosis lipoidica, infections, lesions secondary to peripheral neuropathy, lesions secondary to peripheral vascular disease |
skin infections associated with diabetes | abscesses, furuncles, and carbuncles, cellulitis, erythrasma, candidiasis, malignant otitis externa, mucormycosis |
thickened hyperpigmented velvety plaques that develop on neck, axillae, other body folds. associated with obesity and insulin resistance | acanthosis nigricans |
considered by many to be most common cutaneous manifestations of DM. Pathophysiology:microangiography. Characterized by atrophic, small (<1 cm), brown lesions on lower extremities | diabetic dermopathy |
appear spontaneously, usually on hands or feet, patho-unclear but they appear to be associated with peripheral neuropathy in diabetics | diabetic bullae |
three types of diabetic bullae | sterile (heals w/o scarring), hemorrhagic (heals with scarring), non-scarring (triggered by sun exposure) |
flesh colored or reddish brown papules that evolve into waxy plaques (center becomes yellow and atrophic, telangiectasis my appear, mostly seen on shins usually bilateral) | Necrobiosis Lipodica Diabeticorum |
pathophysiology of necrobiosis lipodica diabeticorum | degeneration of collegen in dermis and subutaneous fat |
treatement for necrobiosis lipodica diabeticorum | topical or intralesional steroid |
can result from neuropathic or ischemic causes from diabetes. often surrounded by callus formation, may extend through subcutaneous tissue to bone-->osteomyelitis | diabetic ulcers |
uncommon benign skin disorders of papules and plaques in annular distribution, self limiting (more common in women, hands, feet, knees and elbows) usually associated with diabetes | granuloma annulare |
yellow plaques occuring near medial canthus of eyelid, upperlid>lower lid (50% associated with elevated lipid levels) | xanthelasma |
localized swelling of the skin and mucous membranes | urticaria |
urticaria that extends into subcutaneous tissues | angioedema |
localized swelling of the skin and mucous membranes accompanied by pruritis. occurs once, individual lesions usually resolves in 24 hours. lasts days to 6 weeks, triggers:foods, drugs, infection, stress, latex, environmental agents | acute urticaria |
localized swelling of the skin and mucous membranes accompanied by pruritis. recurrent or constant, 6 weeks or greater duration, trigger is undetermined in 85% of cases (may be due to autoimmune or chronic disease) | chronic urticaria |
wheal is the characteristic lesion of | urticaria |
edematous papule or plaque, transient, very pruritic | wheal (urticaria) |
treatment of urticaria | H-1 and H-2 blockers ahve synergisitic effect, doxepin, glucocorticoids, epinephrine |
