Conditions included in this group are: [1] [2] Acral dry gangrene; Carotenosis; Diabetic dermopathy; Diabetic bulla; Diabetic cheiroarthropathy; Malum perforans; Necrobiosis lipoidica; Limited joint mobility is observed in roughly 30% of people with diabetes with longstanding disease. [1] Scleredema; Waxy skin is observed in roughly 50%. [1]
A diabetic bulla, also known as bullosis diabeticorum, or bullous eruption of diabetes mellitus, is a cutaneous condition characterized by a noninflammatory, spontaneous, painless blister, often in acral locations (peripheral body parts, such as feet, toes, hands, fingers, ears or nose), seen in diabetic patients.

In a study of the 1990 Purina Race of Champions (a 241 km/ 150-mile, 2-day endurance race), the top seven finishers of the race (i.e. highly competitive horses) had significantly lower body condition scores and marginally less rump fat than horses eliminated for metabolic criteria (i.e. less competitive horses).

It is the most common [1]: 540 [2]: 681 of several diabetic skin conditions, being found in up to 30% of diabetics. Similar lesions can occasionally be found in non-diabetics usually following trauma or injury to the area; however, more than 4 lesions strongly suggests diabetes.
Diabetic cheiroarthropathy, also known as diabetic stiff hand syndrome or limited joint mobility syndrome, is a cutaneous condition characterized by waxy, thickened skin and limited joint mobility of the hands and fingers, leading to flexion contractures, a condition associated with diabetes mellitus [1]: 681 and it is observed in roughly 30% of diabetic patients with longstanding disease.
Dermopathy can refer to one of several diseases: Diabetic dermopathy; Graves' dermopathy, or infiltrative dermopathy; Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD)
Diabetic angiopathy is a form of angiopathy associated with diabetic complications. [1] While not exclusive, the two most common forms are diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy, whose pathophysiologies are largely identical. Other forms of diabetic angiopathy include diabetic neuropathy and diabetic cardiomyopathy. [2] [3]
Thereafter, an additional 1 or 2 years of post-residency education in dermatopathology is undertaken. For trainees with a primary background in pathology, the fellowship experience includes the equivalent of 6 months of clinical dermatology, and for those whose training is primarily in dermatology, 6 months of the fellowship are devoted to ...
