Hello. Read your query and noted the contents.
Its possible aspirin is causing the lesions in your leg. Watch out for trauma however trivial they may be. If you are on a high dose of aspirin it will be worthwhile to put you on a combination of clopidogrel and aspirin (after decreasing the dose of aspirin). Please get a coagulation screen done and visit your cardiologist. Its likely that interactions between medications could have caused it too.
Please feel free to drop in any more queries if need be.
Warm regards,
Dr Praveen
