Not a disease: An isolated purpuric patch in someone taking aspirin is not a cause for concern. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

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?
