    Diabetic scleredema is a rare skin condition in adolescents, often overlooked by internists. This case highlights its association with diabetes and improvement with glucose control and specific treatments.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus can manifest with various specific skin conditions.
    • While conditions like necrobiosis lipoidica are recognized, diabetic scleredema remains less noted by internists.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old female patient with a 10-year history of insulin-dependent diabetes presented with skin stiffness.
    • Dermatological examination revealed a cutaneous manifestation consistent with diabetic scleredema.

    Findings:

    • Skin biopsy demonstrated dermal thickening and accumulation of acid mucopolysaccharide.
    • Treatment involved continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) for blood glucose control, along with tocopherol acetate and hyaluronidase.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing diabetic scleredema as a potential complication of diabetes mellitus.
