    Background:

    • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus poses risks for various infections.
    • Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen.
    • Skin infections in diabetic patients require careful diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with insulin-dependent diabetes presented with unusual skin lesions.
    • Lesions were erythematous scaling papulopustules at excoriation sites.
    • One patient's presentation mimicked herpes zoster.

    Findings:

    • The observed skin condition was identified as Candida albicans infection.
    • Contributing factors included infected fingernails and hyperglycemia.
    • The unique presentation can be misdiagnosed as other dermatoses.
