Several times now when I experience diarrhea, I also get a rash on my chest and red itchy palms, sometimes unbearably. It is not food related. I m worried about liver or pancreatic issues. I have had a colonoscopy and all was normal. Should I check liver and pancreatic enzymes at this point?
Hi.noted history of diarrhea episodes and localized itchiness. These symptoms may not be related to liver/pancreatic pathology, as these are not the common symptoms of the said concern. What is your diet? Diarrhea may be of infectious in origin especially if you had a recent travel or food contamination concerns. Usually, the itchiness related to hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree involvement is generalized. Your condition might be of dermatologist in etiology. But to check, a consultation with your doctor is best, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
