Is Liver/pancreatic Disease Associated With Diarrhea & Chest Rashes?

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 dermatologic in etiology. but to check, a consultation withyour doctor is best, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubins, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
