What Causes Blood Spots Under The Skin While On Warfarin?
I HAVE BLOOD SPOTS UNDER THE SKIN. I am on Warfarin Have been for about 8 years. I have asked three doctors. One said it had a name but could not think of it but there was nothing you could do about. One said I think you just have thin skin; It started on left leg,none on the right. Now in the right leg. Now a few on upper arms. They seem to spread out and then look like a sore. I am 89 and have had 2 blood clots at different times. I am 79 years old. Thanks for your help. Ruth Richardson e-mail address is: YYYY@YYYY

these are due to formed blood patches under the skin are due to leakage of blood from the vessels anywhere where there is a slight and persistent pressure. also the blood clotting has reduced so much as the blood leaks from the vessels and do not stop fast due to suppressed clothing effect.
