Question
Can diabetes lead to skin psoriasis? Why does this happen?
Answer
According to the examination results, diabetes can indeed be one of the causes of skin psoriasis. Typically, high blood sugar levels weaken the skin’s resistance, making patients more susceptible to fungal infections, which can then trigger skin psoriasis. Although medication has been prescribed by the doctor, the effect is not significant. It is recommended to further check blood sugar levels and consider changing the treatment plan.
