Trauma: Brusises result from a local area of trauma to the skin. When taking anticoagulants or if clotting mechanisms are off, they help with extent of bruising but do not initiate the process. If the bruise is in the same site look for what might cause the problem like pressure against the site when sleeping or sitting at the computer.

Good evening doctors. I am on Plavix & 81mg aspirin. I seem to be extremely prone to purple bruises--three on my left arm now, one rather large one on the underside of my arm. How do I know if the bruises are or are not because of the Plavix& aspirin?

Noticed about 10 smallish yellow bruises spread over both legs. Bruises only found on legs and nowhere else on body. CBC and urinalysis are normal. What are some likely causes? I started lexapro a month ago. Used to take a daily aspirin but stopped?
