Hi im a 45 year old female, over the last year or so I have lost between 10-13kg in weight I am currently 10kg underweight, I have been under care for IBD, and inflammed CBD with raised liver function tests I am also iron anaemic, due to the pain in my abdomen I sometimes use a hot water bottle to help the pain, my bottle is covered and i use it over several layers of clothing. For the last few months I have developed a riased large rash like network over my abdomen, its brown/purple in colour doesnt disappear with pressing and its spreading it starts off like a bruise then gets darker more raised and more solid, I do bruise easily anyhow. I understand a hot water bottle can cause some marks but in all my years of IBD have I never had this problem, could this be a problem with my anaemia or pancreas/liver or is it something else I should get checked out. Many thanks.
