Diabetic Foot Dry Skin

Description: DRY SKIN Diabetes can cause peripheral neuropathy or nerve damage to the feet. Most think of feeling loss when they hear the term neuropathy. However, there are other forms of neuropathy. An autonomic neuropathy causes damage to the nerves that control sweating. Sweat is an important way of controlling moisture balance of the skin. If there is not enough sweat on the feet then the skin will dry out and start to crack.
