7. Liver disease
The liver performs many different functions in the body. One of them is creating new proteins, mainly the blood proteins albumin and many different clotting factors. Thus, patients with liver disease may start displaying hemorrhagic manifestations. Their bodies are not synthesizing enough clotting factors, and they have a very slow healing process. Even in the absence of wounds and sores, patients start displaying a hemorrhagic skin rash consisting of red spots and bruises that often appear spontaneously. Several infectious diseases may affect the liver and temporarily cause similar skin reactions.
