Swollen, tender feet and itching bite like rash on buttocks

I am 51 years old and started taking 20mgs. of Benicar for high blood pressue about 4 months ago. About 6 weeks ago I first noticed the itching and bite like places on my buttocks. I also notice that my feet (mostly left one) is swollen and very tender above the area of my toes. I did not know if this was a delayed reaction to this medication or if the itching and foot problems were associated with some other thing medically going on right now. Also, I do not take any other meds and do not add salt or eat foods containing salt. Thanks for your input.

It could be a number of things. Best bet is to be seen by your dr. asap. Best of luck to you.

it sounds like you might have cancer in the gall bladder. you better have that checked out really soon. I'm really sorry for your future strugle. I wish I could say something comforting, but it's just a long hike uphill from here. I'm sorry to hear of your bad news, girl.
Good luck. I'll light a candle for you in my window.

I wouldnt jump straight to cancer, there many things that can be causing your symptoms, they could be totally unrelated to one another, I would give your dr a call

SILVER STRANDS, DISREGARD THE RESPONSE FROM FABIOS_MOM, THAT PERSON HAS BEEN ON THIS FORUM ANSWERING MANY QUESTIONS RATHER STUPIDLY AS I THINK THAT THEY ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE ON THIS FORUM. AGAIN, DON'T LISTEN TO THEIR ADVICE, THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO GET A REACTION-CHILDISH AND INSENSITIVE!

Thanks for the input. I found out that the problems I had were side effects of taking Benicar. Ah, if all things in life could be so easy!
