Can Groin Rash Be A Side Effect Of High Blood Pressure Medications?
I have a rash in my groin and my body is always itchy. For about 2 years I had rashes on both my feet. It seems to have cleared now but I still have to apply dipresone everyday. I take medication for high blood pressure - Micardi Plus, Zanidip and Spiractin. Are any of these causing my rash problems?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Anti-hypertensives doesn't cause any groin rash. It could be due to some other causes like fungal infection or eczema. It would be better if you attach a picture in the follow-up query to make a clinical diagnosis. You can try Clotrimazole ointment for symptomatic relief. If the problem persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
