Aim: To conduct a clinical investigation on the dermatological symptoms associated with diabetes. Material and methods: The study was a tertiary hospital based cross sectional study. 130 randomly selected confirmed diabetic patients with skin lesions were selected for the study. Informed consent was obtained from enrolled patients. All patients were given appropriate treatment for their skin lesions and diabetes. Confirmed cases of diabetes with skin lesions of all ages and both sexes were included in the study. Patients confirmed to have diabetes according to their treatment records and blood sugar levels were screened for presence of skin lesions on a continuous daily basis. Those found to have skin lesions were then asked for their willingness to participate in the study. Cutaneous infections were classified as bacterial, viral and fungal. Detailed history was taken to trace the source of infection. Results: Out of 130 patients, 100 were having cutaneous infections. Of these, 68 (68%) were having fungal infections and 26 (26%) bacterial, with 6(6%) found to have skin lesions of viral origin of 100 patients, 26 were found to have bacterial infections with furuncles in 9(34.62%) and folliculitis in 5(19.23%). Out of 100 cases studied, 68 were having fungal infections. Among them, 43 (63.24%) were having dermatophytosis followed by candidiasis in 25% of the patients. Out of total 17 cases of candidial infections, the most common was intertrigo in 35.29% of the cases followed by balanoposthitis in 29.42% of the cases. Only one patient was found to have oral candidiasis. Out of 43 cases of diabetes with dermatophytoses, T. cruris was the most common, seen in 55.81% of the patients followed by T. corporis in 25.58% cases. Out of 6 patients with viral infection, 4 were having verruca vulgaris and 2 were found to have Herpes zoster. Out of 82 patients in whom we suspected dermatoses strongly associated with diabetes, the most common condition was pruritus in 36.6%% of the cases, followed by acanthosis nigricans (21.9%). 17 (20.7%) of the cases were having skin tags. Conclusion: Bacterial skin infections and dermatophytosis are the predominant dermatological lesions seen in individuals with diabetes. The occurrence of these skin conditions is closely related to the length of time a person has had diabetes, and the likelihood of experiencing them is much lower in people who have well-managed blood sugar levels.
