Harmless bruises : It is common for people to bruise when they are on anticoagulants or on antiplatelet agents like clopidogril (plavix) or even Aspirin in some people. Depending on the pressure which caused the bruise, and the location of the small veins in the skin, all these shapes are possible. However, such bruises are harmless and need be of no concern. If very large bruises occur, check with your doctor.
