A member asked:
Do blood thinners cause you to look like you have senile purpura all over your body. my mum is covered in bruises, red blotches, thin skin that tears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood thinner can cause blotches and bruises but not thin skin. I wonder if your mom is also taking steroids which can cause all those symptoms.
