HI..Thanks for posting here.Prednisone is a steroid and it is always advisable that you take it under observation of a Dermatologist,since you are having hives with itchiness you may be suffering from urticaria,You take tab.allegra 180 mg once a day ,it will relive your itch for some time,and better consult a dermatologist for further treatment.
