My husband says this is average with this diabetis, but I've only heard of darkening of the folds in the skin, armpits, groin etc. not itching and chafing.
Hello Mr Knowitall. According to my husband, yes, he's the diabetic not me. Thanks Fur, no it absolutely isn't psoriasis, I have that myself (it's my husband that's diabetic. It definitely appearance like chafing Also, it's so sore he couldn't sleep and could barely put his arms down. |

I've been diagnosed with diabetes for about five years, and just this year I've had trouble with chafing in my armpits! I didn't realize it had anything to do with diabetes!

I am a medical technician and have never heard of that before. Does it itch? Could it be psoriasus?

that is very possible with a lot diabetes there are so a lot complications and dry itchy skin is one of them. chaffing springs up where there is simply rubbing of dry skin. Your husband maybe one day forgot to wear deodorant or was sweating much on a particular day and this caused it together with a little bacteria. try keeping that area clean and applying some chaffing ointment or neosporin on at night this should help.
