What Causes Pink Rashes All Over The Body?

Hello, this is not about me, but of a friend I am very worried about, and trying to get them to seek medical attention. My friend has been getting bright pink bruising in various areas of her body, but no explanation of how, and also says there is no discomfort in affected areas. My friend had some drug use issues and alcoholism.

Hi,
The bright pink bruising without any discomfort .. still need urgent attention . These can be because of low platelet count or parpura (bleeding disorder)or effect of drug use.
The advise is- your friend need evaluation, blood investigations and treatment to stop drug use. Till then be cautious for not getting physical injuries.
