i was placed on new medication and developed what initally looked like goosebumps all over my body after about 2 weeks of starting the meds. Within days, these bumps looked like welts (but stayed the same color as my skin). Eventually they became red and extremely itchy. I was put on a 7 day course of prednisone suppressing the rashes. 3 days after stopping the medication, the rashes came back. I was once again put on another 7 day 30mg course of prednisone and the rashes were gone within 2-3days. This time around I was rash free for about 2 weeks. I developed a cold and all of a sudden I once again began getting goosebumps all over my body. Within 4 days, it covered most of my skin from neck down. This new set of rashes were worst that the initial reaction that I had. Ive also been taking 50mg of benadryl every 6 hours and have been using corticosteroid cream 2 times a day. These medications do not help at all. I am now on my third course of prednisone and I dont know what to do, as I believe that I will once again have rashes all over my body when the medication finishes
