Are broken blood vessels with rashes related to liver issues/damage?
Patient: I have what appears to be broken blood vessels just under the skin in my lower legs. It s creating a splotchy rash appearance. Went to PCP today. They ordered blood work, labs, etc. They seem to be concerned it may be a liver issue, but they had no other information to give me...any thoughts? Doctor: Hi thanks for asking question.Your doctor want to rule out chronic liver disease in your case like cirrhosis.In such case telengectic dilated blood vessels may present with rash over body due to hyperestrogen.For that ultrasound exination and viral markers done.Second you are also adviced your blood examination.If platelet counts are low then also rash can occur.Some allergic reaction and with advancing age also purpura can occur.Vitamin c deficiency also can lead it.I hope I have solved your query.
