What Besides Prednisone Is A Permanent Solution For Rashes?
I have a continous rash that prednisone helps until 3 days after taking the script. The rash is around the neck and ear area and lower back and left side and towards the abdomen. The itch is severe and won't go away with ointments or after taking prednisone. I have not been checked for food allergies. I see that cats can have puritus and could that be contagious? The rash does continue to appear in the same areas of the body.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have completed your steroid treatment then I would suggest you to take the following medicine and if you have not completed the steroid treatment then you finish it first,
1) Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg three times in day
2) Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day
this medicine will give you better relief, have nice day.
