Is this related to the cirrhosis? It is starting to become very frequent now. It is mainly on my arms at this point but is starting to happen on my chest also.

There are two types of people in the world. The ones that pay attention to the lyrics, and those that can only hear the beat.

jhat,

You really need to see a dermatologist. There are just too many causes to even guess what may be happening. Everything from Infections (Cirrhosis patients have lower immune systems) To allergies to vitamin deficiencies which can be common with Cirrhosis patients. There are many other causes , a few that can be serious. So see a Dr please.

My husband did that. Go to the dermatologist and they will give you a cream for it.

Thanks everyone. There are so many things changing now and I am never sure if it is the cirrhosis, my diabetes, or just some other cause.
