Itchy toes

Eddie106 said:

Hi all I've been type 1 for over 30 years now with no complications until last year when my toes started to itch and have small red marks on them only the big toes .
I've seen my doctor who said its chill blames and keep my feet warm .
But they itch no matter if cold or warm so I'm not sure it's chill blames . Well my question is , is there any creams I can use to take the itch away .

Hi @Eddie106 , welcome to the forum.

What type of doctor did you see for your itchy toes?
If it's been a year I suppose you've seen your diabetes nurse or endocrinologist during this time, those are the ones to ask about possible diabetic complications, not your GP.
If you can see a podiatrist specialised in diabetes, even better.

It may be chillblains or it may e something else, but with 30 years of diabetes under your belt I'd want to have it checked out properly by someone who knows about diabetic complications just to be sure.
