 [ Symptoms ] i am very black & blue i take plavix and baby aspirin are the black & blue marks a concern [ Disease ] it is not uncommon for a person who takes an anticoagulant like clopidogrel brand name plavix to bruise more easily than others however i am wondering if your doctor told you to take a baby aspirin along with the plavix because that is kind of an odd combination aspirin also is considered a blood thinner  if you decided to take aspirin on your own you should stop taking it right away and consult your doctor in general it would be a good idea to consult your medical provider anyway he or she may want to run some blood tests to make sure your blood has not become too anticoagulated this can be risky wishing you all the best
