Good evening. The skin lesion you are describing as a bruise could be due to the anticoagulation medicine. It can thin out the blood which can lead to leakage from the capillaries and which can cause this bruising. You need to check your INR once. Do see a regular doctor as soon as you can. Cause you may need to stop the medication temproary till the bruising disappears. Hope the information was useful.
