 A 64-year-old Caucasian man comes to see you in the office for the evaluation of a rash. The rash is mildly pruritic and initially appeared over his elbows, but it has progressed to involve his back and the front of his knees in the past week. He was seen by his primary care provider (PCP) a month ago for uncontrolled hypertension. His PCP started him on a new pill for hypertension at that time, but he cannot recall the name of the new medication. On physical examination, the rash over his knees and elbows is an erythematous, well-defined plaque with silver scales. You suspect that he is suffering from psoriasis.

. Which of the following antihypertensive medication is known to exacerbate psoriasis?
Options

1. Hydrochlorothiazide
2. Metoprolol
3. Amlodipine
4. Doxazosin
5. Hydralazine
