Does Aspirin Cause Blood Spots On The Skin?
My Dad is 83 years old and has had blood spots under his skin. Sometimes it is so bad he itches it and it bleeds. I just saw information on line about taking aspirin and that could cause it because you are allergic to it. He take a baby aspirin every day. He also has a rare type blood. Do you think that could be the cause?

Hello, Thanks for the query.
In elderly drugs like aspirin and clopidogrel which are given for maintaining proper blood flow, may cause under the skin bleeding spots. Hence, it is possible that aspirin being taken by him is probably the cause for this. It is better to avoid scratching of those areas to prevent breaking of skin and oozing of blood. Thanks.
