What Causes Red Spot On Palms And Forehead In A Diabetic Person?
Hello, I am a diabetic (Diabetes Mellitus T2) and am taking oral medicines for this, Metformin. Also, exercise and dietary restrictions. My blood glucose seems controlled with this (Random 100-90, Fasting 80-70); but lately, I have started developing red spots on my palms or sometimes fully reddish, hot/burning palms. And also, small bumps arise on my forehead and scalp, and occasionally, also small red spots on arms and legs. This results in making me stressful and also itching and discomfort. What to do please? Are these signs related to my diabetes? I would be thankful for your advice.

Hi,
Your glucose level seems to be in good control. The above lesions can be a result of any change in medication/ due to infection which is common in diabetics. Get your blood culture tested for any blood stream infection. Also check out with a GP as seeing the lesion may help in diagnosis.
