please provide help to assist a family member who is a diabetic with myositis and itchy and scaly skin patches. Also, she has some issues at times with muscle leg/feet cramping; and swallowing and thick saliva. What type doctor needs to be seen for best treatment
Dearthanks for writing to ChatDoctoras per the description given the myositis might be the cause of the muscle pain and also difficulty in deglutition.(swallowing)We must review with a neurologist to look after the neuromuscular problem. Hope the sugar levels are within normal level. Mostly the skin scaling, darkening are due to the chronic elevated sugar levels, we must start a multivitamin with anti oxidants like Antonio. Hope this helps
