What Causes Rash Under The Arms, Thighs And Buttocks With Hepatocellular Cancer?

My brother was just diagnosed with hepatocellular cancer with portal vein embolism and was place on inderal ,dilaudid, and lactulose. He developed a rash under his arms,back of thighs to buttocks, and groin area. Is this most likely from the elevated bilirubin, liver enzymes , etc.?

Hello,

It could be a sign of cholestasis. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. If it is itchy antihistamine like cetirizine can be taken.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
