Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Aspirin is an anticoagulant , it may cause bleeding and that pink red spots may be due to side effects of aspirin.
This is good thing to use aspirin .but keep one thing in mind that bleeding and clotting time is very important before aspirin uses.
Consult another physician and get in his opinion.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
