I was prescribed Prednisone for poison ivy and after taking it for 5 days, I stopped taking it because of the way it made me feel. NOW I have this horrible skin rash all over my stomach, areas on my legs and my back. This rash is almost as bad as the poison ivy if not WORSE! What can I do?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The rash is likely related to the allergic response that you were using the prednisolone to treat. If you are not able to tolerate the prednisolone, you may want to try oral anti histamines to see if one of these may help. If the oral anti histamine on its own is not helpful then you may need to try steroids in another format. I hope this helps
