dear
thanks for writing to hcm
as per the description given the myositis might be the cause of the muscle pain and also difficulty in degluttition.(swallowing)
We must review with a neurologist to look after the neuro muscular problem.Hope the sugar levels are within normal level.Mostly the skin scaling,darkening are due to the chronic elevated sugar levels,we must start a multivitamin with anti oxidants like antoxid.
hope this helps
