[QUOTE="Terry K, post: 365167, member: 28789"] [b]Re: Anybody else on here suffer with necrobiosis lipoidica d[/b] Yes, I have sufferred from this condition since the age of 9 following a wasp sting to my lower right leg. Now aged 58, both of my lower legs have a number of these blemishes, for want of a better definition, ranging from 0.5 to 6 cms diameter, all of which increase in size over the years; and were and continue to be initiated by any injury to the skin surface. They are red, with clearly visible blood veins on display, shiny and having a very thin skin surface, are susceptible to further injury. I refuse to let them, or any other difficulty arising from my 55 years as a Type 1 diabetic interfere with my enjoyment of life - and find their visibility is much reduced if I manage to secure a sun tan on my legs, during the summer months. They are nothing to worry about, provided you take care of the impacted skin surfaces; in my case the application of "Savlon Antiseptic Cream", if I detect any additional scratches or similar damage.
