23 I have searched all the websites that you have suggested on warfarin and Coumidin, but I couldn't find an answer to this question. I am currently taking warfarin for atrial fib. and have been taking it for less than year. I have red dots all over my lower legs that came on after taking this medication. My doctor confirmed that it is from taking blood thinners. Now I am starting to get them on my chest and breasts. I was wondering if this is anything to worry about.

Anyone else out t here have a severe skin allergic reaction to warfarin?I have severe skin rash both legs, both arms. Next step...anaphalaxis! I went to the GPs office and the ******* wouldnt even come out to look at it. I went to the cardiologist's and the nurse came out. I did some investigating on my own and found out ALL THE warfarinS have DYE except 10mg...Finally the cardiology nurse went against their normal protocol and prescribed me 10mg warfarin...

I have developed a sudden skin rash on feet and legs below the knees. It is a round white spot with a red dot in the center. It does not itch. I am taking coumadin and plavix. Is this a sign of bleeding under the skin? I have also started having red marks, some size of dots and some larger and brown "age spots" on my skin. Anyone have similar condition? I was told to stay away from vitamin K because this effects the coumadin and my pro time.

We were in auckland on Thursday and decided to get a secod opinion as the rash was getting worse, and close around her eye lids.... This rash dosent seem to bother her one bit, she is still her same happy self, she dosent even try to scratch it at all. Its just how it looks to us that make us worry... The Doc in auckland could not identify what the rash was and we were referred to Auckland Hospital...

I have been suffereing from a strange rash for almost two years know. It started with small non-raised red spots on my arms and progressively got worse. Now my forehead and cheeks stay pretty much rashed up and red all the time. It is also pretty bad around my neck, chest, arms and hands. But it is really all over my body to some degree. The rash doesn't really itch but my skin can feel really hot. I can feel when its flaring up bad.

Im going crazy wif all the side affectys from the interferon and then the warfarin (that thins my blood out to prevent more clots) but i get side affects from that as well. My life suxs so badly at the moment im always in pain or having my hair fall out or having the terrible achy rash.

then I had to go on the medrol dose pak (steroids) for a severe rash I developed from taking niferex forte (we think this is what the rash is from) . Niferex forte is a vitamin capsule with vitamin c, b12, folic acid and iron. They started me on this because my H&H (hemaglobin and hematocrit). Rash is itching like crazy, what to do? I hope I don't go into atrial fib.

Hello, One of the possibilities for your symptoms can be solar urticaria. It is the development of hives minutes after exposure to the sun, which resolve in less than 1 hour. apply a good sunscreen with minimum spf 30 atleast half an hour before going out in the sun. You can take non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine or Loratadine(Claritin) when the rash appears. Short courses of oral cortisone or steroids are taken for short periods (one to three days) to settle more severe symptoms.

I have been on coumadin (warfarin) for 22 years because of having a mechanical valve. I am still having a problem with the protime/inr. I follow all the "rules" and still go at least two/three times a month to a protime clinic. The INR range for a mechanical valve is 2.5-3.5...last week mine was 3.8. So I have to return next week for another protime. Some people have no problem being regulated....I am not that fortunate. Good luck to you.....

It started out with the usual red spots/rash that are common with Leukocytoclastic vasculitis. After a few days I ended up getting the extremely painful lesions on the feet and ankles. (Any google image search for Purpura lesions will show you what I am talking about). The Dermatologist sent me to see the Hemotologist. After about two weeks they started me on 150mg of Lovenox (blood thinner). Within three days the lesions started to dry up and heal.

This blood leakage causes tiny red skin dots, little red skin spots or a pinpoint red rash symptoms to appear.

The predominate cause of red skin spots petechiae is thrombocytopenia.

Within days a massive bruise covered 2/3rd's of my breast..I take warfarin so am used to this occurring. The bruise has all but gone now, but the lump is still there, still the same size and very prominent. I went to the urgent care centre today, hoping they might be able to treat the lump immediately if it was found to be a Hematoma which needed draining or anything.

Now, those people who test positive for the lupus anticoagulant don't necessarily have lupus. I've never had the skin rash, and I don't have problems with my organs (other than the perfectly natural appendix trouble I had.) I've theorized that the real problem was in switching from Copaxone to Betaseron. I never had a 'down' period. I went straight from Copaxone to Betaseron. During the first week of titrating up, I had the blood clot.

Hi all, I had a major stroke aged 19 in 1984, was diagnosed with Lupus anticoagulant with SLE, I was put onto warfarin instantly, I was on warfarin for 2 years then following my first and only pregnancy,( a l-o-n-g story) I took aspirin 75mg for 18 years then recently via a changeover of consultants I was told my INR levels weren't even making 1, hes convinced I've had several mini strokes in the last 18 years, and I had to go back onto warfarin, I reacted badly physically to the warfari

Facial rashes, night sweats and the closing of my throat. That is when I stopped using Bactrim. All other side effects are gone except for the closing of my throat that comes on and off, especially when I'm done eating. It's been going on for 2 weeks (since my last bactrim dose). It doesn't make my breathing or eating any difficult but is just very annoying. It stopped for 2 days and happened one late night, 2-3 hours after drinking alcohol.

I have a Nuclear Scan scheduled for next week. Preliminary diagnosis is Sympathetic Dystraphy. I have recurring and persistent rashes on my body; very thirsty. I have had 2 PE's in past 10 years and am on warfarin, Synthroid (under active Thyroid), Nexium for Hietal Hernia and Zoloft. I continue to get worse and although I am getting tests done, I am looking for further insights and knowledge, thus my email to you. Please provide me with your insights and a recommended game plan.

- Have chronic idiopathic urticaria since about 2001 (started in legs) - GERD - around 2001 - Hypopnea - (sleep apnea diagnosed in 2007) I do get rashes in some areas that come and go. The petechiae is new. I was told this sounds like lupus or mixed connective tissue disease so I'm going to ask my rheumatologist about this when I finally get in to see her. Are there other things I could discuss with the rheummy?

because of this rash problem and we were not sure whether it is a reaction from doxycycline, she stopped taking doxycycline for about a week, is it good idea to continue to finish the rest (she's got probably another 10 days doxycycline to finish from a 21-day total)? Thanks much again.

So now between the 2 md's they want me to take the levothyroxine, wellbutrin xl, a baby aspirin 81mg, 8000mg folic acid, 2000mg vitamin D, 100mg vitamin B-12. I made the mistake of taking them all at once and wound up with a horrible rash on my neck/throat area as well as a sore throat. I'm still trying to figure out when to take them all and what time etc. I work nights and sleep during the day so this has been a nightmare within itself to say the least.

In those of us that have had a major clotting event (stroke, heart attack etc) then they use Heparin and/or warfarin to treat. I know with me the warfarin worked WONDERS on me!!! Now- you can have APS without the positive bloodwork. Some doctors rely fully on the blood work (the anticardiolipin test and the Lupus anticoagulant) to diagnose APS, but in patients with the symptoms they can be treated without the blood work.
