Hi,
Due to taking blood thinner medicine does cause bruises or minor capillary bleeding under the skin.
You might require INR blood test for clotting and prothrombin time.
This might lead to bleeding for other part of body like nose, intestine, stomach.
According to report you have to lower down the dosage of blood thinner.
Consult your treating doctor and discuss about this.
Ok and take care.
