What Causes Swelling Of Lower Part Of Legs With Cracked Red Black Skin?

Hi Doc, i am on Prolomet XL 50 after undergoing angioplasty since 2 years. Lately both my lower parts of legs appear swollen with cracked red black skin. Is prolomet causing skin rash and swelling? What is the alternate medicine inlieu of prolomet? Thanks

Hi I did review your concern.
Prolomet should not usually cause a skin lesion as it is a betablocker and no affect on skin.
However your lesion can be due to vascular insufficiency of the leg. So i would recommend that you consult a dermatologist personally and show him the lesion and get it evaluated.
i hope this helps
Wish you all the best
