<human>: 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.
<bot>: Hi, thank you for putting up your query on Chat Doctor. 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 purple 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 urticaria 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 dermatologist for further treatment. Wishing you good health. Thank you.
