Pink spots from blood thinning meds??

[CBH192]

Hi everyone!

Just a query regarding some pink spots I’ve noticed here and there. They look like tiny burst capillaries if that’s the best way to describe it! Very small, flat give me no trouble at all. I will check with my consultant next time i see them, but i wondered if it’s a side effect of the aspirin and clexane injection i take or if anyone has experienced similar?

Many thanks!

HiBeen on blood thinners since my bypass op last year. Not only do I get terrible bruising but also the tiny pink spots mostly on my arms.

Think it is associated with blood thinners.

Keep safe

I have a similar thing. My GP said it was age related and he has the same thing.

I am 43 and have been put on blood thinners after multiple blood clots in both lungs, I have awful red / pink spots since taking the blood thinners . I don’t believe it’s a age thing at all

Hello, I did wonder about the age thing as I have only just turned 30…lol! I assumed it was the medication but nothing really clear online. Sounds like it is though! Thanks for replying 😊

My feet erupted in dozens of pin prick red spots. My Warfarin leaflet says that I should inform my GP if this happens. My GP put it down to ageing. The INR nurse said it wasn't an issue. So far my feet haven't fallen off so what can I do?
