Prednisone Rash

I was taking Prednisone 40 mg a day for 6 days when I developed a horrible sunburn like rash on my neck, which spread over my body in pink dots. I was told to stop it, which I did. The rash went away. Now, 10 days later, the rash is back with a vengeance, but I've not taken anything. I feel horrible and extremely weak. Any advice??

Weakness after taking steroids, hope you dint stop it abruptly because it should always be tapered before completely stopping it. So do consult the doc and know the reason for such a problem.
