“Black skin due to diabetes, also known as black spikes, does not occur all over the body of the body.It usually appears in places with many folds on the skin, often friction.Following the popularity, it can be mentioned: neck, armpits, elbows, inner thighs (groin), fingers, knees.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes causing abnormal black skin.The main reason is that insulin concentration is too high or hormonal abnormalities, causing abnormal proliferation of horn cells and fibroblasts on the skin, causing local skin to become rough and dark black ”- He said.
To distinguish the black skin due to diabetes, Dr. Wang offers some other characteristics.For example, often appearing with horizontal, folding lines, dark colors interwoven, skin touching rougher than other areas.It can even cause itching, strange smell like a sweet smell or an unpleasant odor.Therefore, it is not difficult to understand when it is easily confused with dermatological diseases.These black areas cannot clean when bathing, even rubbing or using chemicals.

"2 foul" commonly found in people with diabetes
Two types of odors warn diabetes: bad breath and abnormal sweat.Bad breath in diabetics is significantly different from normal bad breath.It is this smell at the early stages that will be like the smell of fruit, namely the smell of apple but not fragrant but sour as apple fermentation.As the disease progresses, bad breath also increases like the smell of rotten apple, very uncomfortable.
Dr. Wang explained:“This smell produces due to the high amount of ketones in the blood.By diabetes that make the body resistant to insulin or not produce enough insulin, the cell does not receive enough glucose needed to provide energy for the body.To compensate, the body begins to burn fat to produce energy.When the fat is stored in a burned cell instead of glucose, it will create a ketone, starting to accumulate in the blood and urine. ”
