Minor trauma: It is unusual to bruise from simply holding a pair of boots in your arm. Aspirin does inhibit platelet function and can increase susceptibility to bleeding from minor traumas. If you have noticed easy bleeding on numerous occasions, it would be worth mentioning this to your physician.
