What Do Swelling And White Bumps On The Legs Indicate?

Thank you. I went to the walk-in clinic about 10 days ago with swelling (edema) in my legs, ankles and feet. I was prescribed furosemide 20mg 1 tab daily. This has helped but not as much as I hoped. I take 3 anti-hypertension meds including amlodipine 10mg. Whenever my cardiologist sees swelling he says it s likely that drug but never changes it.. Following the swelling I now have little white, raised hard bumps/blisters on both calf areas and my feet remain swollen. I m seeing my internist on 8/17. I feel like I need to be blasted with a steroidal product like Medrol Dosepak.Your thoughts??

reduce amlodepin to 5mg and increase furosemide to 40 mg and do serum creatinine levels if normal then add spironolactone 100mg..
