Discoloration of Ankles?

[Mslone]

Anyone Else have like a bruised look to their Ankles? I have had diebetes for a little over a year and have not done the best of managing it... and I really want to get on the road to geting it managed...

JUst wondering if others have seen ankle discoloration, like a dark brown. Bruised look... If I get my diebestes managed can this be reversed or is this permanent now?

Thanks,

Michael

Difficult to say if its related to your diabetes, I've certainly not experienced this but that's not to say the two aren't linked, if its cause of concern then let your gp have a look at your ankles, but certainly getting our diabetes under control will improve your overall health.

Been there, done it, bought the t shirt. Hi mslaone and yes I've had exactly what you described. Mine was just forward of my ankle bone on the outside of my right foot. It was about 2 " across and looked like a big bruise. Used to itch like mad. I had this before I was diagnosed in November but i probably had Diabetes long before I was diagnosed so this could have been something to do with it. I used to rub E45 onto it to keep it moist otherwise it went dry and flakey and like I said, it itched a lot. It finally cleared away leaving no marks or scars at all, in fact looking at my foot now you wouldn't know it had been there. All I can say is try some E45 cream and keep it clean.
