Hi,
Welcome to HCM
You are suffering from Hypertension for last 18 years ,it seems you are taking good care of your blood pressure and health,now you have developed dyslipidemia for which statin is prescribed along with aspirin,
The spots may be because of Asprin, which may be stopped in consultation with treating Physician, if Aspirin is not tolerated and antipltelet is required Clopidogrel may be advised to you,
See are they improving or not or it is some kind of allergy to any drug.
Plain statin and calcium and Vit D you may continue to take.
Good Luck

Hello
You seem to be having bruising due to the blood thinning effect of ECOSPORIN.
You should stop the medicine and talk to your doctor.
Blood thinning medicines like ECOSPORIN result in leakage of blood from capillaries resulting in bruises.
