Hi,
Thanks for your query,
If the affected areas are not raised and its just a hypo-pigmentation ( color change into white ) in the foreskin , i would consider it to be normal as it could probably be a part of age related degenerative changes and of no harm.
If you have itching or burning sensation there are chances of it being a fungal infection, which can be well cured by applying MICANAZOLE ointment twice daily after through cleaning.
Answer to your Second Query :
The Blue pill ( Sildenafil citrate )
Is strictly contraindicated in people with history of angina as it can result in a re attack , By altering the blood supply and work load on to the cardiac muscle
It also lowers the BP in individuals with existing cardiac illnesses and with a alfa blockers like Tamsulosin on, there are much more chances of the same.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.
Since you are on a anticoagulant ( Aspirin ) the blood has low viscosity and with assisted erection there are easy chances where there can be hemorrhage in the penile layers.
Hence with the history you have i would say Sildenafil has to be avoided strictly.
