A broad spectrum of cutaneous disorders may be diagnosed in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Some of dermatologic lesions may precede any clinical or biochemical evidence for diabetes, while others are considered well known complications of the metabolic disorder. We highlight typical, rare dermatological manifestations of diabetes, excluding infectious, disorders related to complications of diabetes mellitus and skin conditions induced by treatment of diabetes. Cutaneous marker for diabetes are important to be recognized rom early stages, although they are rare or misdiagnosed.
We present case series of diabetic thick syndrome classified as follows:
1) clinical asymptomatic
2) hand skin thickening presenting as
• ‘waxy skin’
• finger pebbles
• ‘velvety’ skin over the small joints of the digits
• knuckle pads
3) scleredema adultorum
