Painful, Itchy, Red Rash On Thighs Spread To Lower Abdomen, Bruising. Reason?

I started to get a red rash on my thighs and it itched really bad and then it was painful and then it started on my lower abdomen below my belly button and it lasted for about 3 weeks on my thighs and then went away but the rash and itching on my abdomen still itches really bad and it is painful and it has now been over a month that I have had this. What could be causing it. It also is bruising

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
This itchy rash is looking like some allergic skin reaction.
It may be due to some allergen such as food, animals, plants, or change of soap.
Carefully observe to find any allergen with a diary of food and activities.
You can apply calamine lotion externally over skin thrice daily for soothing effect on skin.
Take orally an oral antihistamine like cetirizine or hydroxyzine in prescribed dose to get relief from itching.
Consult the doctor for clinical assessment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
