Hello,

Asking for my mom, she's in her 70s, and smoked for over 40 years, just had a mini stroke last week and is recovering at home.  She hasn't smoked in 10 days.  She just developed a rash on her upper arm and stomach.  Could this be nicotine withdrawal side effect?  She's also on a new blood thinner but has been on that for couple weeks, so not sure if it can be an allergic reaction to the meds after 10 days or more to do with quitting smoking.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi Tina, sorry about your mom's stroke. I hope she's getting better. Quitting smoking is the best thing she can do so congratulate her on 10 days quit. That's awesome!

As far as the rash goes, I would worry it's more medication related and call her dr. Especially if they are new meds. Quitting smoking causes a bunch of weird recovery symptoms but because of your mom's stroke I wouldn't chance it.

I agree with Jillar,

Consult your doctor
