Can a body rash be due to warfarin?
Patient: Yes, please. My husband has a rash all over his body. He s on a gluten free diet and the dr. does t think it s from anything he has been eating. He is on warfin, could this be a problem? I read that a rash could be from warfin. What does the rash from coumadin look like? I m interested in warfin and coumadin. Doctor: hi,thank you for putting up your query on HCM.mam, i would like to inform you :--warfarin rash mostly occurs in fat abundant areas like thighs, buttocks, abdomen etc after weeks to months of starting warfarin therapy.-- rash from warfarin looks like necrosis of skin (which starts with a purpule bruise like rash, which over a period of time turns to bluish black with a red rim).-- rash from warfarin is rare. still, consult a dermatologist nearby to be sure.-- as the doctor has said, he may have got urticarial rash which can easily be controlled by proper diet and a soothing lotion like calamine lotion.-- as of now, you may give him tab levocetrizine twice a day.do consult a dematologist for further treatment.wishing you good health.thank you.
