if I hit my arms or scratch too hard I start to bleed I also have aspirin skin.
Brief Answer:
Consider clopidogrel or Aspirin desensitisation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through your query and understand that you have bleeding with intake of aspirin.
My advise is go for Clopidogerl instead of aspirin if you are having this Cardio vascular event risk prevention.
Aspirin desensitization is also successful in some patients. You can try this also.
If you are taking aspirin for Pain. It is better to go with Acetaminophen. It is Non- NSAID (non - cardiovascular disease.
Please consult your treating physician immediately regarding this bleeding history.
Because this may result in life threatening bleeding if you have any peptic ulcer or bleeding from other mucosal or serosal surfaces.
Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health
