Diagnosed With Bronchitis. Stools With Blood. Is It Due To Scratching?
I just went to the doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with bronchitis . However, I have been experiencing weird symptoms like hair falling out, bruising on legs, brittle nails , and now today I was itching my leg and it turned dark purple almost looks like pooped blood vessels.. I did not scratch hard so I am wondering why i am experiencing this.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have red color itchy patch in affected skin lesion or black color blood?
History of bronchitis with red itchy patches suggest the diagnosis of urticaria.
Exact diagnosis can be made only after examination.
You should consult with dermatologist and should go for exact diagnosis.
If urticaria then treatment of bronchitis with anti-histaminics may give you relief.
You should get treatment for bronchitis .
If blood is present then you should go for clotting time, bleeding time and prothrombin time.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
