Can Prednisone And Baby Aspirin Causes Red Dots On The Arms?
i have blood dots, some larger than others, move around my arm, fade, and reappear. My doctor believes that predinsone has caused them. I have been off prednisone for several months. The blood marks have continued only on my arms. The arms are the only place they ever occurred. Will they ever go away? I ve stopped taking baby aspirin--Doctor thinks that the aspirin could also thin the blood. Any suggestions and/or recommendations? They are not raised, not itchy, fade, and reappear.

Hello,
The red dots on your skin are due to microangiopathy, most probably caused by prednisone and baby aspirin. It might require a few weeks to months after stopping both of them until fully disappear. Check your liver function too. Discuss it further with your caring doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
