Is It Safe To Take NSAIDS Or Ibuprofen For Spots On Arm?

Hi I get petechiae on both my arms if I put pressure on them. Yesterday one of the spots, which was about 2 x 5 cm broke open and started to bleed a little. I went to my doctor a couple of weeks ago and she ordered labs (CBC w/diff, CMP, PTT, PT/INR, B12, Folate, Zinc, B12, D and ) All labs were within normal limits. She recommended not taking NSAIDS or ibuprofen. I haven't been taking any of these medications or any other blood thinners and continue to keep getting there spots. Any ideas what could be going on?
