Could The Red Spots On The Arms Be Age Spots?
I take aspirin, Aggrenox, Vitamin E--all of which i hear thins the blood--there may be other meds that I am taking & just don t know that they cause it. I am getting red spots on my arms (mainly my left arm). Is this age spots? I don t think I m old enough for this. But is these medications the cause for this? Would it be safe to quit one or two of them? I had a heart attack 4 1/2 years ago.

Hi.
As per your case history of spots on arm, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. You are probably having seborrheic keratosis which is an age related change.
3. Treatment options are cryotherapy, cauterization or laser ablation done by a dermato-surgeon.
Thanks.
