Brief Answer:
Easy bruising due to blood thinning medication.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

As I see in the photo it is a bruising. I think it is an easy bruising caused by minor trauma since you are in blood thinners.
The blood thinkers makes blacking easily.
I think this may be a sign to stop blood thinkers but you should consult your cardiologist on it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks anyways but it is a spider bite, we went to ER. Stopping blood thinners is never a good idea, causes strokes.
