Hi And Welcome to our Family.
I think what you may have is NLD(Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum).
I got one on my left ankle when I was about 19 yrs. old. My Endo
knew the minute she looked at it, what it was.
It never bothered me, since it's on the side of my ankle and I can't
really see it without a mirror. When it was red(that's when it's inflamed),
I used to just put a fragrance free cream on it, let it dry, then put a
lighter coloured powder on it. I still have it but it's been more a yellowish
colour for yrs. now. Not many People noticed it or mentioned it. A
couple thought it was a burn when it was red.
It doesn't matter if your sugars are Good or not. The Dr. said that
doesn't make a difference. With some people it goes away, others
it doesn't. I only have the one spot though. Definitely protect the
spots. My Son drove his ride-on truck, accidently into my ankle when
he was 2 1/2yrs. old.. Ouchie! That hurt and I got 2 little ulcers on
the spot. My Dr. gave me some cream to put on it to clear the ulcers.
There were about 5 others Ladies on this site who have it. Some
haven't been here for a while.
Here is a site: Mine is definitely NLD not the other underlined condition.
Also just google the name and it'll bring up more info about it on other
sites.
Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum
Take Care.
