Hi,
I can understand your concern for the multiple of problem along with skin rash.
After reading the query, in my opinion it appears to allergic dermatitis. In this condition there are rash with eruptions along with moderate itching. In more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness. In this condition a thorough history of contact allergens are to be taken and accordingly a specific diagnostic technique known as patch test is to be undertaken.
I suggest you to apply medium to high potency steroid cream application because are best effective in these condition. I would have opted for either mometasone or clobetasol cream.
For you problem of broken veins - it is known as Purpura. Take a lot of vitamin C in your diet whcih will strengthen the blood vessels.
Dry mouth and constipation is caused by less intake of water or liquids. So increase fiber diet and water intake.
