Hi everyone,

Have been taking a beta blocker for a few months now(carvedilol) and i seems to work,with heart condition.

My problem is that i had a few random spots appear on my leg.Over a month later they blistered and have become very large,sore looking,patches.

Tries creams and lotions,but they seem to be getting worse.Any body help.?

regards, Richard

    You may have developed psoriasis. This can be a side effect of Beta Blockers. Do see whoever gave you the Beta blockers,there are alternative medications.
