Monsoon Season Poses Skin Infection Risks for Diabetics: Dos and Don’ts for Optimal Skin Health

Published

on

As the monsoon season arrives, individuals living with diabetes face an increased risk of developing skin infections. The combination of high humidity, dampness, and fluctuating temperatures creates an ideal environment for fungal and bacterial growth. To ensure good skin health during this time, it is essential for diabetics to follow certain dos and don’ts to minimize the chances of infections and related complications.

Dos for Good Skin Health:

Keep your skin clean and dry: Maintain proper hygiene by washing your skin with a mild soap and lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry the skin, especially in areas prone to moisture accumulation, such as between the toes and skin folds.

Moisturize regularly: Use a gentle moisturizer to prevent dryness and keep your skin hydrated. Pay extra attention to areas that tend to get dry, such as the elbows, knees, and feet. However, avoid applying moisturizers between the toes as it can promote fungal growth.

Wear loose and breathable clothing: Opt for loose-fitting clothing made of natural fabrics like cotton, which allows air circulation and reduces sweat accumulation. Avoid tight or synthetic fabrics that can trap moisture and contribute to skin irritation.

Maintain blood sugar levels: Keep your blood sugar levels within the target range advised by your healthcare provider. Elevated blood sugar levels can impair your body’s ability to fight infections, increasing the risk of skin-related complications.

Practice proper foot care: Inspect your feet daily for any signs of cuts, blisters, or infections. Wear comfortable shoes that provide adequate support and protect your feet from moisture. Avoid walking barefoot, especially in public areas prone to contamination.

Don’ts for Good Skin Health:

Avoid prolonged exposure to dampness: Minimize your time spent in wet or damp environments, such as rain-soaked areas or excessive humidity. If you get wet, promptly dry your skin to prevent moisture from lingering and promoting fungal growth.

Don’t scratch or pick at skin lesions: Refrain from scratching or picking at any skin rashes, sores, or wounds. Doing so can worsen the condition and increase the risk of infection.

Don’t self-medicate: Consult your healthcare provider if you notice any skin abnormalities or experience persistent itching, redness, or inflammation. Avoid self-medication or using over-the-counter creams without professional guidance.

Avoid sharing personal items: Steer clear of sharing personal items like towels, clothes, or footwear, as it can increase the risk of transmitting infections.

Don’t neglect professional advice: If you have a pre-existing skin condition or a history of skin infections, consult a dermatologist or your primary healthcare provider for specific preventive measures and guidance tailored to your needs.

It is crucial for individuals with diabetes to prioritize their skin health, particularly during the monsoon season. By following these dos and don’ts, diabetics can minimize the risk of skin infections, maintain optimal skin health, and reduce the chances of complications.

Remember, if you notice any concerning skin issues or have any doubts, consult your healthcare provider promptly for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare team is best equipped to provide personalized advice to address your specific needs and ensure your overall well-being.

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.

Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.

Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.

Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”

The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.

Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.

Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.

The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.
