Can Predisone Work For Stress Rash?

Hi..I had a rash on my neck and chest...I took predisone for contact dermatitus...6 days into it I felt better and went for allergy shots..my right armed swelled by the injection..not of of the norm..but 1 day after finishing predisone (day 10) my arm got really itchy and I had like three hives on my neck and the same rash seemed to be back on my neck and chest..i was very stressed..could stress do this and could it be confused w/ contact dermatitus? Now on a second dose of predisone for 9 more days:-( predisone seems to be helping..Would the predisone work on a stress rash also?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI
Well come to HCM
Most of the rash are steroid responsive least concern with the underlying reasons but still for cure of the disease underlying cause need to be treated like if this is stress then this can be treated first, hope this information helps.
