Brief Answer:
Best to report to your doctor, but may not require any treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Quite clearly sir, the rash and swelling has developed because of the coumadin and all such events are best reported to the prescribing doctor. I would recommend a visit to your doctor so he/she knows about the development and if at all takes action just to be safe.
But in such situations, we usually only advise simple measures like rest, extra care and a lukewarm application to improve circulation. But please do report to your doctor as a physical examination is mandatory to assess the degree of the injury sir.
I hope and pray this is as simple as it sounds and wish you a heathy and rapid recovery. Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
