Hi as the rash appeared on both sides of the hands it rules out shingles because it appears on only side of the body.i think it is side effect of warfarin.it can be cured by antibiotic twice daily.anti inflammatory agent combiflame and application of calamine lotion over the lesions .if not subsided start short course of steriods.
