I've been experiencing redness, dryness, and soreness around my nose, along with small red bumps, for the past couple of weeks.

I recently had a blood test that showed a high level of creatinine in my system. The test was taken on June 15, 2022, and it has been a concern since April 26, 2022. I am 65 years old and take several vitamins and medications, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, metoprolol for blood pressure, simvastatin, and tizanidine for severe cramps in my thighs. What can I do to lower my creatinine level?
