Hey DCUK users, I have a concern that I am getting. I get this very irritating feeling on my skin, it feels as if I have fallen into a pile of fiberglass. My skin is ultra sensitive and hurts a little to touch. Not so much that it's unbearable, it's more just irritating and uncomfortable.

I don't have this all the time but it comes and goes. I also get a stinging feeling on my scrotum that lasts about 5 - 10 seconds and then fades but repeats every do often. I am uncertain what the cause is, but I do have an assumption that it could be due to high blood sugar levels. I also get the feeling of puffy feet. This also causes me struggle to fall sleep
Thank you in advanced everyone.

Speak to your doctor.

The following is not a diagnoses but for information.

Many people with diabetes have problems with their nerves, including neuralgia. The excess glucose in the bloodstream may damage nerves. This damage is most common in the hands, arms, feet, and legs.
 
@HuNTeR124 It could be to do with your diabetes, but it might not be.

The best thing to do is ask a doctor and get an answer as to what's causing this.
