HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
She should be reviewed by her doctor especially in the light of the blood in the stool.
If she is having an acute attack of her crohns then she may need treatment to suppress it.
Bruising can cause discoloration of the skin and the changes in colour is due to the stages of breakdown of blood.
If the area are painful, she would need pain medication to help relieve her discomfort.
I hope this helps
