Hi..
welcome to HCM. .
It could be an inflammatory or allergic. .
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of rash. .
The property of steroid us live that. When you stop it abruptly it recurs .
don't worry. . Keep using the medicine in tapering doses..
you will be alright..
your doctor can decide as to how long it should be used. .
take care. .
