Hi,

The given symptoms of changed colored of skin and forming the patches could be fungal infection and it can not be anything else, although skin lesion always demands the clinical observation for right diagnosis without this nothing can be said for sure, it is nothing to take with the drug Amlodipine or ankle swelling if what the history stated here.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
