Hi lybrate-user, to start with first of all the red spots that accuring on thigh are called as petechiae. Its a medical term which tiny pin head size bleeding spots which are appearing on the skin. Amd as you said he is acitrom tablet which is an anticoagulant is used to prevent clot formation so one of cause for such red spots is this drug acetrom. Need not dose adjustment will rule. This out. Stay healthy stay safe.
