Doctor's Answer

These symptoms are not typical issues related to diabetes, as far as I am aware. But other conditions can cause this, such as fungal infections or eczema or dermatitis. You should probably make an appointment with your doctor and have some tests run -- a dermatologist would probably help you the best.
