In the evening it looks like I'm wearing bright red socks.

I'm diabetic and have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy via ncv/emg. The assumption is that its diabetes related. Mine came on extremely suddenly about a year and a half ago. I have a couple of small numb spots on the bottom of one foot. However the pain/jolting/burning is spread over the classical sock pattern and can be excruciating.

I've not heard of a rash being a symptom of neuropathy so I'm asking here.

Thanks!

Three weeks ago, I had these red blotty rashes in my legs and a few in my arms. I googled for "skin rash" and came up with several pictures. One picture was called "dermatitis herpetiformis" related to celiac. Though mine did not look like herpetiformis, but just to make sure i asked my doctor for a test for celiac/gluten sensitivity.

You might want to consider this....

Hope you feel better.
