Is Warfarin Recommended To Treat Itchy And Oval Shaped Blotches On Arms?

I just noticed some re blotches on my upper arm - back of both arms - some on the chest - maybe 1/4 in diameter - some bigger - all are not the same shape most of them are oval -- they do not itch?? and seem to have a crusty feel to them - not really elevaed from the skin also.. I'm 64 and in generally good health - I take warafin for A-fib and weigh 200# - 5' 10" - Any idea what they might be?

Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about this rash. Warfarin cannot be used to treat this condition. This rash is suggestive of an allergic reaction. It is best treated with an over the counter drug like allergra. Please, talk with your doctors for confirmation and prescription.

Also, if there any recent addition to your cosmetic pack, please try to look closely and make sure this is not the cause.

I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications or more information if need be.
