Diabetic complications are really pervasive in the body and can affect everything from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, such as pruritus caused by diabetes. Our hospital podiatry has admitted many patients who started with itchy lower limbs and formed small injuries due to excessive scratching, and the small injuries did not heal for a long time eventually developing into serious diabetic foot ulcers, most of which faced amputation encounters locally. So, what is the relationship between itchy skin and rotten feet? First of all, the recognized cause of itchy skin on the lower extremities due to diabetes is due to the high glucose content in the patient’s skin, chronic dehydration of the skin, reduced sweating, and overly dry and itchy skin. This cause is often systemic, and encountering external stimuli such as hot and cold changes, clothing friction, contact with chemical fiber clothing, drinking and eating spicy food, etc., can stimulate the skin to cause itching. However, this condition above is more intense in the presence of ischemia and neuropathy, and here we have to talk about the lower extremities. One of the most likely lesions in diabetics is peripheral vascular and neuropathy of the lower extremities, which affects the blood supply and causes atrophy of the nerve fibers, and their effect on the skin is too complex, but the end result is typically itching. At this point, the patient must scratch very hard to get an effective effect, often scratching the skin. Diabetics have a much harder time healing their wounds at this point, and coupled with the fact that most patients get the wrong treatment, they eventually develop diabetic foot ulcers and infections. So, what happens once an infection has developed? If you have not been to the hospital, the most important thing you should do is to find a doctor to check; if you have been to the hospital and have done a lot of treatment but still not good, you need to adjust the treatment plan, the current method is not effective, it is best to go to a specialist hospital to receive treatment. We also tell you that at present, for the treatment of diabetic foot and other kinds of wounds that do not heal, the effect of pure Western medicine is not very good, and we recommend the combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment methods, after the comprehensive treatment of debridement, infection control, improving circulation, nutrition of the wound surface and decay and muscle growth, can effectively treat complications, control wound infection, promote rapid wound healing, conservative non-amputation treatment of diabetic foot.
