Have Severe Itching In The Abdomen Along With Large Bruises On The Sides
My husband recently had shingles and I think that I might be fighting the infection as I am on steroids for colitis. The abdomen is extremely itchy and I have large bruises on my side, however, no rash as yet. I am extremely tired and keep falling asleep in the evening which is unheard of for me.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
Please get a KOH mount done,
This can confirm the fungal etiology.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
