Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes White Spots On Legs While Taking Prednisone For Arthritis?
I am currently on a 12 day prednisone program for arthrtistis in my feet prescribed by my podiatrist. I have noticed white spots on my legs. Could this be from being in the sun? I have some stomach problems as well. I take medication for Gerd prescribed by my internist. Should I be concerned?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such white spot could be due to some vitamin deficiency and not due to any drug or disease just take care in diet, keep the skin changes under observation and in case of something wrong you have to see the dermatologist, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
