What Causes Rashes All Over The Body When Having External Hemorrhoid?

I have external hemmoroids with mucus discharge and developed a full body rash similar to an allergy type rash. Would the rash be related to the hemmoroids and mucus discharge. Have been treated for hemmoroids by doctor for years. But mucus and rash are new. No other symptoms.

Thank you for your question.

I understand your concern. Hemorrhoids are due to stasis of blood in the veins present around anus. They are called swollen or inflamed vessels, which cause severe pain in the anus.

Body rash is no way related to external hemorrhoids. Rash all over the body may be due to allergy.

There are many triggering causes for allergy like stress, specific foods, exposure to dust etc.

Take Cetrizine tablets twice daily for 10 days. If symptoms persists, it is advisable to consult the physician. Blood reports and physical examination of rash may be required to know the cause.
