Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Have you visited and got examined by a doctor? Because from the description of the rash, it looks like you are suffering from chicken pox which is a viral infection. If that is the case, then Prednisone medicine is best avoided.

On the brighter side, if it is indeed chicken pox, then the latest symptom of the rash which turned into dark dots is a sign that the infection getting resolved and no further treatment is needed.

But I would still recommend visiting a doctor and getting it examined if it is something else entirely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pooja.Sanap
