What Causes Itchy Rash On Upper Body Of A Diabetic Patient?

I broke out in a light rash on my upper body about a month ago and it is still there. It itches a little, but nothing major. I have diabetes, hypothyroidism and have had by-pass surgery, then had 7 stints. I have been well, have not changed any soaps, detergents, etc. What could it be?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms can be related to a fungal infection. I suggest using an antifungal cream such as Miconazole to relieve symptoms. I also suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg to relieve the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
