Hi.
The rash that you mentioned could be due to dermatitis brought about by many causes like exposure to harsh chemicals, allergy, etc.  Bleeding results from breaks in the skin from frequent scratching.  Bruising is also a result of frequent scratching.
Causes of amenorrhea (absence of menses) should be investigated further as there are various causes.  Hematologic diseases (blood diseases) can also cause amenorrhea, and should be ruled out.
It would be best to have yourself seen by your doctor for proper evaluation.
Good luck.
