We recently added Heparin to my son's protocol. Within a week, he is having white bumps pop out on his face. They are about the size of a pencil eraser and only seem to itch if he starts touching them a lot.

The heparin does seem to be giving him more energy. Very grateful for that.

Anyone else have experience with bumps like this?

Hi,

Sorry, but is it Heparin or Mepron?

Either way , I would check with your sons Dr. Skin reactions of any kind might be a indication of an allergic reaction. It could be die off as well, but best to ask his Dr.

Heparin is an anticoagulant. It keeps the fibrin from building up in the blood vessels, allowing for better blood flow to the capillaries.

My daughter takes Heparin as well. I have never heard of it causing skin issues.

Maybe someone else will come along to help.

I hope it clears up soon.
