It sounds like you may be dealing with a form of dermatitis, which can be common in people with diabetes. Atopic dermatitis, the most common type, can cause itching, rashes, and dry skin. Cortisone can provide temporary relief, but long-term management may require identifying triggers, maintaining a good skincare routine, and consulting a dermatologist. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated to rule out conditions like lichen planus or prurigo nodularis.
