I have type 2 diabetes. I have developed a red circular rash on my right leg. It has faded in the center to pink but is scaly and red around the outer edges.  Currently my blood sugar is 136.  What can I buy over the counter to get rid of the rash? I like to swim but this is way too embarrassing to put on a swim suit.Michelle
Hello, It seems to be a fungal infection and such types of infections are very common in diabetics specially uncontrolled ones. You can apply a local antifungal cream like CLOTRIMAZOLE locally for a week, and it can be easily purchased without a prescription. It should be all right in a weeks time. Keep your sugar well controlled, as it is very important not only for your current fungal infection but also to avoid various future micro as well as macro vascular complications. Thanks
