Swollen Ankle, Red Dots On Legs, Prominence On Back Of Ankle, Hair Loss, Geographic Tngue. Taking Bupropion, Adderall, Avodart
I have a swollen ankle. There a few red dots on my legs that appear to be bug bites, but they don t itch and I m not outside a lot. Earlier in the Summer, my other ankle was swollen and there was red blotches on my right leg. The blotches almost looked like bruises. Additionally, there are 1 or 2 lipoma-like prominences around the back of my ankle. You can only tell they are bumps when you palpate it. I have had them since May. It seems like they present themselves, then about the time it goes away a new one will show up. Ancillary symptoms: *hair-loss (which has been happening for a year or 1.5 years but has increased in rate as of late. * geographic tongue (began in July) *systolic BP around 150 I take: *avodart - for hair-loss * bupropion - for depression * adderall - for add and lethargy I m 29 and fairly slender. I don t have an excellent diet but don t eat super bad. I am a pharmacy student full-time and work 2 jobs as a pharmacy intern (one at a hospital and one at a retail pharmacy)
