Rashes Around Groin, Spreading Itchy Red Bumps After Intake Of Warfarin For A Month. On Insulin And Metformin. Side Effects?

After a month on Warfarin I have developed a rash mainly around the groin area but these itchy red bumps are appearing elsewhere, could this be a side effect of this drug and do I need to seek medical attention before my next blood test in two weeks time? I am 82 years old and have diabetis (2) on Insulin and Metformin.
Any advice would be appreciated. Betty Stenton

Hi and thanks for the query,

It might be a bit difficult to attribute all these to Warfarin. In case these symptoms appeared immediately and only after taking this drug, this is possible. However, though this is not a usual manifestation or side effect of the drug, it might be necessary however to think of other conditions like infections that could also present themselves as such. Infections, allergies to other environmental factors are all possibilities. A clinical appreciation by your treating physician could be useful. Thanks and kind regards.
