Petechial Rash...normal for diabetes??

[Mervyn]

Hi,
I seem to have this every summer. I get a heavy petechial rash on my legs! Whether wearing trousers or wearing shorts.

It is not a heat rash it just seems to be loads and loads of tiny spots that appear to be burst capillaries. There is no itching but certainly looks unsightly. I am just wondering whether this is to do with diabetes or my vascular disease or indeed a combination of both.

Does anyone else have this problem?? I am hesitating to go to the GP with them as they really do not cause any discomfort.

Just interested to find out whether connected to Diabetes.

Thanks

Mervyn

HI
To be honest i haven't suffered anything like this, but i would recommend you see a GP as you know this could lead to you getting infection. You could even ask the chemist for advice.
Hope all goes well
Take care
