Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi! I can't answer as to the rash/bruising portion of your question, but I am prone to swelling of the legs, ankles and feet since I've gotten PSC. My doctors have me on medication (Lasix)(sp?)for it. I haven't had a rash that's turned into bruises, but I do bruise more easily than I used to. I don't know if that helps, but I figured I'd mention it for what it's worth. Hope you get things figured out soon and that your daughter is getting better as we speak/write! Sandi in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm not sure this is the same thing, but once or twice a year on hot summer days I get this weird itchy rash on my feet (it sometimes extends up my ankles). I'm told its petechiae. I elevate my feet as much as I can (rest my foot on a box under me desk) and over the next couple of days it fades away. Ian (52) PSC 89 Has anyone had any type of blotchy rash and swelling of the ankles. My daughters ankle rash has started to turn into the color of bruises.
