Erythema Multiformae With Severe Blistering Rashes On Skin. Prescribed Cyclosporine, Imuran And Prednisone. Herbal Treatment Without Any Side Effects?

I have been diagnosed with Boulus(sp?) Erythema multiformae with severe blistering rashes on my skin. I've been prescribed Cyclosporine, Imuran(sp?) and Prednisone (not all at once) with no relief. I've been suffering with this for the past 15 years and the prednisone was the only thing that would "stop" it from spreading but lately, it's not even able to do that. Plus, I look like the Michelin Man after taking it (during the times when it gets really bad) and I've heard it's terrible on your liver...any suggestions for something herbal without the scary side affects will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!!!

Hi, the rash you are describing appears to be the utricaria, due to allergen , it may be soap, cosmetics, foods, clothes you wear, flowers etc.
I advise you to avoid one after another and try to find out, to which you are allergic. Further i also advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
