Fungal infections
Fungal infections in people with diabetes are very often caused by the yeast-like fungus called Candida Albicans (or thrush). It can create itchy rashes of moist, red areas surrounded by tiny blisters and scales. These infections often occur in warm, moist folds of the skin. Problem areas are:

in the mouth
under the breasts
around the nails
between fingers and toes
in the corners of the mouth
under the foreskin (in uncircumcised men)
in the armpits and groin
in the vagina in women
Other common fungal infections include athlete's foot, ringworm (a ring-shaped itchy patch) and vaginal infection that causes itching.

If you think you have a yeast or fungal infection, call your doctor. You will need to have it diagnosed before you can treat it.
