Recurring Rash. Prescribed Prednisone, Rashes Reappearing After Stopping Tablet. Opinion?

have a rash that comes and goes and is very very agitating. sometimes i can feel it coming on and then a streak appears. it occurs some during the day but usually intensifies at night time. saw a local physician who prescribed predisone. That may have helped a little bit but as soon as the predisone was gone the rash was back in full force

Hi,
It seems that you might be having some allergic rash giving you this problem.
Try to find out the cause of allergy like clothes, spray, scent, soap or duo.
There might be having some food allergy as well.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine, Levo-cetrizine or Benadryl.
Ok and take care.
