Question 1

Hey, so I noticed this red spot on my foreskin a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't itchy at first, but now it seems like it's spread around my penis and it's started itching. I'm really worried it might be an STD or something. Any idea what this could be?

Telsartan 50 to Amlip 5:_

The change from Telsartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) to Amlip (Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker) might be due to:

1. Different mechanism of action
2. Potential side effects or intolerance

4. Consider additional testing:
