What Is The Cause For Itchy Red Bumps On My Buttocks When On Prednisone And Benadryl Allergy Tablets?
I haa severe itching on both buttocks and the back of both thighs. Also on the front of the right thigh. This itch caused red bumps all over the area. Went to the Doctor and he prescribed Prednisone and Benadryl allergy tablets. The medication helped but after about two weeks the itching is back again. What is causing the itch to occur?

Welcome to HCM.
Red bumps with itching indicates fungal infection.Might be after continuous use of prednisone.
Take proper local care.
According to me avoid prednisone.
Start proper local anti fungal cream like clotrimazole.
Take levocetrizine to subside itching.
Oral anti fungal will be helpful to get fast recovery like itraconazole,terbinafine.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
