Red Pinpoint Dots On Calves And Top Of Feet And Sides Under Skin
UpdatedHi so glad I found this forum. I am a 64 yr old female who had a st judes mechanical heart valve put in 3 yrs ago. My blood is check every 3 weekx by my csrdiologist. My range was perfect from 1.5 tp 2.5 whenever tested. Then about 1 month ago my inr was 4.8 so my doctor changed my doage of coumadin. The problem i have devloped a red pinpoint rash on my leg calves and the top ov my feet and sides of feet. Thr rash is below the skin snd not itchy or painfful. my skin is dry and peeling also. My doctof said to go to s dermatologist after he looked at it. I had been working stsnding on my feet for 4 hours st a time when it first started. I did not want to put any cream on it brcause I do not want it to get worse. Shower wster makes it redder. Has any one had the same reaction on warfsrin. I looked on onternet but cannot find any answers. Any reply sould be greatly apprecisted thank you

It would be best to have it checked out by a dermatologist, just as your doctor suggested.
Being a cardiologist, they would be very familiar with rashes causes by the medications they typically prescribe and would have said so, if it were a normal one they've seen before from the Coumadin.
It also doesn't seem to be medication related, if it gets worse in warm water like when taking a shower.
Typical Coumadin side effects usually include nausea, headache, easier bruising and increased risk of bleeding.
Has anyone else seen anything like this, before?
