The medical term for this condition is digital sclerosis. Due to poor blood flow, the skin on your fingers, back of your hands, or toes might become hard, waxy, and thick.

The texture of the thickened skin caused by diabetes is often compared to that of an orange peel. In some cases, it may spread to your arms, shoulders, upper back, and neck. It might also make your finger joints stiff. It’s worth mentioning that this specific condition can be caused by both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [ads shortcode=”td_responsive”]
