Hi, My daughter has very small red bumps on her legs, arms and neck that itch a lot.  She has been taking prednasol and it helps with the itching.  However, if she stops using it, the bumps appear again with the itch.  What do you think is going on?  Id really appreciate your opinion.
Hello, I think your daughter is suffering from urticaria which appear as red, raised, itchy lesions and disappear in another 24 hours. If this is the case, prednisone will not do much good for a long time, but it will cause a lot of harm due to steroid use. I would suggest her to stop steroids immediately if she has been taking it for less than 3-4 weeks. And if she has been on steroids for a very long time, then she should taper it slowly to avoid symptoms of with Chat Doctor. For disease, an antihistamine like fexofenadine/ levocetrizine will provide relief in her symptoms. Also, try to rule out for the cause for urticaria like worm infestation, urine or any other infection in body, thyroid problem, any intake of new medicines or food itemsThanks
