Brief Answer:
Please add a picture

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible nerve issue.
Thus is called diabetic neuropathy.
There is damage to nerves due to diabetes.
However , another possible cause in patients, especially diabetes patients is fungal infection.
So I would suggest that you upload a picture of the rashes.
I would like to help you find the best solution for your problem.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal.

Brief Answer:
Looks like a reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi
The pictures are seen.
It looks like an alergic reaction.
Does this happen after the medication for diabetes?
What exactly is the components of your tablet- Boycott M?
HAve you tried any medications so far?
Let me know the response. We need to know what is causing the allergy.
Anything that you gave noticed, which triggers the reaction?
I suggest testing Nerve Conduction Study of all 4 limbs as well.
Any hospital with a neurology department can do it for you.
Let me know the above information.
Best of luck.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I have suggested that test for checking the nerve problem.
And it's nothing to worry about. It's not very serious issue like a stroke etc. Only you need to take care of it.
And yes, as of now I think it's allergy.
we don't know the cause of it from what we have discussed so far.
You really need to do some introspection as to what's causing the allergy.
It's there for half hour, and clears on its own.
So it's something you are doing or taking that causes it and once your system flushes it off you feel better.
I think you may think about the tablets 1st. Observe if it comes after any tablet.
I suggest the following tests - NCV ALL 4 LIMBS and Creatinine.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
