What Causes Pain And Itchy Bruise On The Abdomen?

I have been having pain on and off in the right side of my abdomen for the past few days, and there's also discolouration (like a bruise, but not very dark, rimmed by a red border, slightly itchy) in the same general area. Am wondering if its something that will pass or should I seek medical help immediately? I'm 21, approx 52kg, 160cm.

HI.
Thanks for your query.
Your problem does not look like it will pass on its own. It may not pass but can worsen. And can be dreadful if complications occur.
After reading your history I think this can be due to some inflammatory process going on in the right side.
The probable causes can be :
Colitis.
Retrocecal Appendicitis.
Kidney infections...
The cause of redness can be hot water bag you must have taken.
I would advice the following :
Get the blood, urine, stool tests done, ultrasonography and further tests as per examination done by your Surgeon
.
