What Causes Redness All Over The Chest Area?
The skin across my entire chest is red as if I had a sunburn. I have had it for about a month now. It does not appear anywhere else. I have been on warfarin for about two years now if this might be a. Cause. Otherwise no particular symptoms that I exhibit to my knowledge at this time. Of late, I have also had some nose bleeds.

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Warfarin is an anti-coagulant(blood thinner).Redness all over the chest area may be a side effect of this drug.Purplish red, net-like, blotchy spots on the skin and nose bleeds have been described among its side effects.I will suggest you see your prescribing Doctor for reevaluation and to judge if you may continue the drug.
Hope this will help
Best regards
