Tiny red blood spots on legs suddenly appearing - now fading.

Noticed many tiny red blood spots on lower limbs. Have been on Rivaroxaban for 4 months, no reviews as yet. Feeling well though. Spots are fading today. Had one on my tongue, which went away after 24 hours - strange! Happened to anyone else?

Ask your GP soon!I am not medically qualified, but these spots might be blood clots.

Thankyou vinixxx. Yes, I've reported to GP today, had to send photos. As spots are now fading fast, plan is to watch & monitor, anymore appearing, or bleeding or bruising, they will repeat blood tests. Thanks for your reply.
