Hello Aftab,
I appreciate your concern for your mother.
If it is itching and spreading and your mother has diabetes, the probable cause is a fungal infection. These lesions on scratching will breakdown and blood may come out.
If you can upload a photo, I would be able to give a better opinion.
She will require to control her diabetes, if it is not under control.
Once the blood sugar is under control, it is easy to treat a fungal infection.
You may contact me if you have further queries.
take care
