Hi,
Asprin and plavix cause thining of blood .if he has bruises and pocket of blood I think we shoud consider to stop or reduce dose of these drugs as bruises are signs of excessive thinning of blood. So talk to your doctor and discuss with them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
