Red Bumps On Hand, Itchy, Prescribed Prednisone, Increasing. Is This Normal After Being On The Prednisone?
I went to doctor last Monday with red bumps on hands that itched. He thought was some kind of allergy . Put me on Claritin 2x aday. Didn t get better, actually got worse and then I broke out in hives all over body. Went to dermatologist and she put me on 20 mg prednisone . I m on day 3 now and was getting better but I noticed several more red bumps on body today that itch. Is this normal after being on the prednisone.
