Have Dark Purple Spots On Hands And Legs. Taking 325 Mg. Asa. How To Cure This?
Thank you for posting a question.
From the nature of lesions you described, really sounds like purpura. I am totally agree with you.
Now, regarding cause, most probably, it is due to the baby aspirin you are taking. Except that, thrombocytopenia may also be a cause. So, just do a complete blood count to rule out any decrease in platelet count. If that is alright, then most probably, it is due to aspirin. In that case, you should do coagulation profile study including bleeding time and clotting time. Management will depend upon the findings of the tests.
So, consult with your treating doctor about this and for ordering the investigations required and for further management accordingly.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.
Regards.
