Warferin Causing Breakouts, Please Suggest
I have been taking warferin for a month now and have always had very nice skin blemmish free. I am a 48 year old male, and in the last few weeks I have acne type bumps on my neck, face, chest and stomach.
Is this a reaction to the warferin????? Is there anything I can do to stop it?

Hi
I will try my best to answer your query.
Adverse effect of warfarin includes bleeding, cutaneous gangrene in the form of patechiae, ecchymoses, hemorrhagic bullae but this symptoms usually occur within 7 -8 days after starting treatment. But you might be mistaken patechiae for acne, so i advice you to see the prescribing doctor and get yourself examined.
Hope my answer will be helpful for you.
Take care.
