What Is The Remedy For Severe Itchy Rash On Entire Back After Taking Warfarin For Atrial Fibrilation?
My mother was recently diagnosed with Atril Fibrilation and was prescribed Warfarin. She has developed a severe and persistant rash on her back from the nape of her neck to her buttocks and onto her hips. It itches like mad and she s scratching her skin off. I m giving her benedryl orally and using hydrocordisone cream which helps some, but the rash/itching persists. How serious is this and can it be reversed?

greetings,
i can see that in your case warfarin might have reacted with the history that you have given.
having this known i would say that you should immediately consult your doctor to confirm this by detailed history and physical examination.
hope this helps.
