I read that its caused from inflammation of the bile duct which is another cause of cirrhosis to the liver. Itchy skin is another symptom. Its usually genetic and autoimmune. I have always known its associated with liver disease but not specifically an inflamed bile duct. My next gastro doctors appointment is December. My disappointment is that there is inflammation still happening and probably the liver isn’t repairing. kindly berrinice

Thanks. So the red blotches aren’t all that important as long as there are no major other symptoms. It can simply mean liver dysfunction eg slight elevation in LFT. kindly Berenice
