1 Answer

Answer :

I’m a longtime Warfarin warrior but have never experienced a rash that I was aware of. I checked to see if there were any side effects I’m not aware of and found these, a couple of which have something to do with the skin. You might want to check with a hematologist or whoever originally prescribed coumadin.
