Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Xarelto contains rivaroxaban and it is not known to cause psoriasis. Side effects of its use on skin, which is commonly seen include burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, "pins and needles" or tingling feelings.
You can use hydrocortizone cream on the skin lesions along with moisturizer cream at bed time.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
