What Causes Bump Like Itchy Rashes On The Legs While Having Excessive Blood Clotting?
I have a severe clotting issue and need eliquis. I have a very bad bumpy rash that welts if I rub or scratch it. The itching is very extreme. I m worried about what this is doing to my skin. I was put on eliquis after a mass of clots were removed from my legs in a 7-hour procedure. How to I tract down whether this rash is related and if so, what can I do?
Hi i do care for your concern. The symptoms that you have described may be related to drug itself as it is a blood thinner it may cause purpuric rashes. I would advise to consult your physician and have a blood test done to know about clotting factors. Most of the time PT INR values will suggest the underlying cause. If it is related to drug then alteration in dosage may be needed. Hope everything gets well soon. Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.
