Ive had type 1 diabetes since 1981 and am now almost 60.
Before getting it, I can distinctly remember wearing low-backed dresses and other risqué (well, for the 60s/70s!) outfits, but for many years now I've had the most horrible acne-like spots on my back. They itch all the time and drive me crazy. For some reason these spots are nowhere else and even though I don't wish to wear backless stuff now, I'd like to get rid of them.
Does anyone know what they are? why I've got them? Are they something to do with the diabetes? Over the years I've had antibiotics, creams, dietary advice, and even a biopsy to see if they were caused by little creatures under the skin. All without result, so any information anyone can give me would be really welcome.
Thanks, all!
