Link of Diabetes and skin care
Diabetics are prone to some skin complications. In fact,
diabetics have a tendency towards dehydration that causes dry
skin. It can also lead to chapped, cracked skin or worst to
amputation. That's too much for a skin worry, isn't it?
Prevention, however, is the key to avoid serious complications
regarding skin problems. We have to prevent them from to stay
sound and healthy. In order to do so, here are the guidelines
that diabetics must follow in order to be free from these
complications.
There are skin products that are made especially for diabetics.
Nonetheless, the content and effectiveness of these skin
products does not vary. Thus, just anybody can acquire it
without spending extra sum.
A word of caution though, has to be faithfully exercised: use
only reliable products and be keen to possible injuries. Before
you apply a certain skin product, consult first a healthcare
expert. There are products that can peel or burn your skin.
These products contain steroids that can decrease your
sensitivity. Moreover, the injuries may not be detected right
away.
Examples of these skin products are some analgesic creams and
anti-itch creams. To a non-diabetic, prolonged steroid exposure
can lead to heart and blood circulation problems. To a diabetic
person it is more dangerous because prolonged
exposure can be
fatal. Nevertheless, the use may not have adverse effects on
other diabetics. However, to other diabetics, they cannot use
even once.
Aside from skin care products, diabetics must also avoid lotions
and moisturizers. These products reduce the amount of oxygen
that reaches the skin. This situation can result to infection.
Poor blood circulation and low supply of oxygen can lead to a
condition called gangrene. If not remedied in due time, this may
entail amputation. Thus, diabetics should avoid putting
moisturizers in the enclosed spaces of the body like the skin
folds, armpits, orifice, genitals and groin areas.
Diabetics must also avoid sharp objects such as blades, nail
clippers, knives and the likes to remove calluses, corns and
warts. When doing manicure or pedicure, be sure that the tools
are sterilized or soaked in alcohol.
To free yourself from any qualms about using skin products or
not, the best way is to consult a healthcare expert or a
physician for that matter. It is better to prevent the possible
dangerous condition before it gets worst and unmanageable. This
is called preventative care and it works all the time!
