Question : can Coumadin produce petechiae or purpura limited to elbows and lower third of arms?
Brief Answer:
Yes it can
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Coumadin can certainly produce petichae on the arms and elbows, in fact in our practice it is one of the most common regions where we notice the petichae. I suggest you to get the INR checked immediately as dose adjustment maybe required
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
I wish you good health
Regards
