HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I had gone through the history given, and I could say that the blood thinner can cause the bruising but it is easy distinguished the bruises due to trauma and the subcutaneous due to blood thinner or aspirin, it is very light brown spot seen while in case of trauma bruises could be deep seated, and dark in color and darkness increased with the time, hope this information helps.
