Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
CCB can cause lower extremity swelling, and if the swelling has been there for several months, it can cause venous stasis which can cause dermatitis (patches that appear like bruising). Treating it can be as simple as taking you off of CCB and trying different anti hypertensives medication or wearing a compression stockings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Samuel Parmar
