Does Cirrhosis Of Liver Cause Bloating, Itchy Sores On Body With Bruises On Back?

My husband was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver when he was hospitalized a couple of years ago for CHF. His stomach is huge, he has intense itching and sores on his body. His face & eyes are yellow. He has bruises and spider-like veins on his back. He quit going to the doctor because he is in denial that he has cirrhosis. What sign or signs is next?
