Q: .I am an 87 year-old man. For some time I have been getting purplish-red splotches on my arms. I take a baby aspirin for heart disease. One doctor told me to stop because the aspirin could be causing the red splotches. But another said stopping could be dangerous. What do you say?

I am an 87 year-old man. For some time I have been getting purplish-red splotches on my arms. I take a baby aspirin for heart disease. One doctor told me to stop because the aspirin could be causing the red splotches. But another said stopping could be dangerous. What do you say?

It sounds like you have a very common and harmless skin condition. Doctors call it senile purpura. In this case senile means nothing more than old age. And purpura is Latin for purple, the color of the splotches.
