Can Intake Of Prednisone Cause Spreading Rashes On Body?
Went to the dermatologist yesterday for a rash that develops from a bee sting 3 weeks ago she gave me prednisone pills benadryl.shot went to work got really hot and by dinner time I was broke out on.chest back everywhere did me prednisone start this I m worse than it was before
hello, i can understand your concern. a steroid like prednisolone is usually prescribed to reduce the inflammatory response after a bee sting. usually an anti histamine is also prescribed. prednisolone in itself can cause urticaria(rash) in few individuals as seen your case. i would suggest immediate stoppage of the drug and consultation with your doctor immediately. i would also suggest an antihistamine like allegra(fexofenadine)180 mg once daily for five days. hope i have answered your concerns. feel free to ask further queries. thanks for choosing HCM
