Brief Answer: Skin purpuric spots, need further evaluation Detailed Answer: Hi again Since your wife had a cardiac event a year back , I assume that she might have been put on certain anti platelet drugs. Anti clotting agents are usually prescribed to patients following a cardiac episode. Now although such skin lesions can occur in people on these medicines , still I would advise you to see your treating doctor once so that a blood test can be done to assess the bleeding profile parameters . If all the tests are within normal limits, then these skin lesions can be ignored and only vitamin c supplements can be taken. Hope it helps Dr Geetika Paul
