Welcome to Healthcare Magic

You probably are suffering from skin infection or Pityriasis rosea. You need to keep the area clean and dry. Apply Calamine lotion for time being, better to get it looked at by a Dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and proper treatment.

soreness in stomach may be related directly or indirectly to the diabetes.
it may be due to drugs also
u need to consult physician
small ,red ring look like candidial infection and very common in diabetes pt

for that apply antifungal cream and take antifungal tab and antihistaminic tab.
