Itchy Bruised Spots In The Back, Legs And Arms. Burning Sensation. Surgery For Prolapse Scheduled. Advice?
just over 2 wks ago I broke out in spots, back, legs & arms. Thought it was chickenpox at first but I have already had them. I have been really itchy and am now covered in bruises. Sometimes I get burning sensation on my skin. Am scheduled to go in for day surgery for prolapse on 12/5 and am worried I may have to cancel this.
