[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2524528, member: 372717"] Not sure I'd go so far as to call them abscesses, but I do have a tendency to get red sore skin where clothing rubs (under bra and where my pantyline meets my legs), particularly in summer. Sometimes the skin cracks, but only very rarely. (Not sure if this is what you are talking about). E45 and/or antifungal meds usually clear it up for me, though when I last went to a dermatologist for a skin/mole check, she gave me some cream that also contained an antibiotic to clear it up. But it's not something I've ever asked my diabetic team about, just GP and dermatologist. My guess (disclaimer I am not a doctor) is that just as thrush and UTIs are more likely for people with higher bgs, this might be too. But no need to suffer in silence, if you can't get a pharmacist to give you something that helps, I'd definitely ask a GP or dermatologist. [/QUOTE]
