Hi, back in march I was diagnosed with poison oak/ivy on my lower legs. My doctor prescribed prednisone for about 13 days(20mg...3aday for 3 days, 2aday for 3days and so on). My legs did start to clear up. However I started new rashes on my stomach,arms,under breast that appear to be contact dermititis and about a week or so after finishing the meds, he put me on another round of prednisone for about 9days..same strength and also gave me a prednisone shot. The rash starting looking better. I also took some oatmeal baths,using aveeno lotion,and taking benydryl as well.But here I am again, and about 4days to a week later after finishing prednisone and I am in worse shape. My rash is more wide spread, but doesn t always itch but it can be painful around my bra line..i guess from the heat/sweat. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thanks.
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of skin rash all over the body which could be due to hormonal disturbances and allergic reaction of body. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for patch test for allergic reaction. Start treatment after proper examination and diagnosis. Till then APPLY topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily at affected sites for 7- 10 days. Avoid intake of oily and fast food. You should not touch and prick them.  Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,
