Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Use of anticoagulants followed by some petechial rashes over wrist need to be evaluated for bleeding diathesis and a few doses of blood thinners may need to be skipped. YOu will need some work up for bleeding and clotting profile. Please visit your doctor, let them run some tests to rule ou blood thinners induced bleeding tendencies and then manage it accordingly. Its not serious, meanwhile skip the dose and consult your doctor ASAP.
