Given your history of type 2 diabetes and the appearance of these patches, this is most likely diabetic dermopathy (shin spots) or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with dry skin. These are common in diabetics due to microvascular changes and skin dryness. Next Steps 1. Control blood sugar strictly

Hi there... While i understand your concern, it is incorrect to hazard a diagnosis based on this pic alone Much more detailed history nd information ℹ️ will be required to help structure a treatment plan for you and not just the knowledge that you are a diabetic. Your treatment history also is important. Amyloidosis is one possibility and will need a skin biopsy to confirm. Do consider reaching out via this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
Health Tips
Aloevera gel used atop wet 💦 skin post bathing 🚿 daily may prove useful both as a Moisturizer and as a pigment lightening agent 🙏
