prednisone withdrawal rash

I've had a rash over my whole body, 3 rounds of prednisone, rash will not go away. Maybe for a day or two, when I think it might have gone away, it comes back with a vengeance.

My 70 lb 12 year old golden retriever has a skin condition and was on Prednisone last year for about three weeks. She broke out with the same rash a few days ago, and (stupidly) instead of taking her to the vet, I gave her the same dosage of medicine that we had left over from the last time. I gave her 20mg in the morning, 20 in the evening, and then realized that I didn't have enough to complete the course for three weeks.

But as soon as I quit taking the prednisone it seemed the rash got twice as bad. Went back to doc and got 10 mgs of prednisone, take 3 for 3 days, then 2 for 3 days, then one. The rash went away a lil more. Now it seems as if the rash may be coming back again. My question is will taking to small of a dose, or not taking the prednisone until the rash clears up. Will that cause the rash to come back?

Can I stop taking the prednisone after one dose of 2 20mg pills or will I suffer sever withdrawal and potentially hazardous reactions? Is it safe to just stop taking prednisone after a single 40mg dose?

Four weeks after quitting the Incivek, the rash continued to progress over my lower extremities and he started me on Prednisone for two weeks. That finally interrupted the cycle so that The Rash finally began to clear. and the itch finally began to go away. All of the suggestions given to you are spot on. Try them all, but be aware too that 1-4% of patients taking the telaprevir get the severe rash. You cannot take the prednisone while taking the telaprevir.

Her doctor told her to take the prednisone back again if she was vomiting or felt nauseous. But so far the rash is the only weird symptoms she has.

This made a huge difference but, once the prednisone wore off the rash back full force. I returned to my doctor and was prescribed Prednisone for longer and a higher yet decreasing dosage over 7 days. Sure enough, the rash dried out and healed, itching subsided until about 2 days after finishing the course of Predisone. Now, im itching again and the rash is returning! it's like if I'm off Prednisone it will come back but, i cant keep taking prednisone over and over. What's going on?

Has anyone used prednisone to lessen methadone or other opiate withdrawal symptoms?

About 2 months ago, after swimming at the YWCA, I developed a rash on my back and on the buttocks, and down the back of my legs. I went to my Dr, who put me on an antibiotic and prednisone. Within a week, it cleared some but never really went away, and yes, it was itchy. A month or so later, the rash came back, and I was put on prednisone again plus a cream. It cleared up. Now it's back again. I am suppose to have knee replacement surgery in a few days. What could this be?

Thank you for the reply. I would have never thought prednisone withdrawal would be so difficult. I am hangin' in there and staying positive. Thank you very much Foggy2. It seems the fatigue is the hardest to deal with. I have never experienced fatigue in such an extreme fashion. I am concerned with the last month which will be 1mg every other day. So far it seems I am just one of those people that do better dropping .5mg at a time. Now that I think back I should have been dropping.

After 3 days of unresponsiveness to Claritin, I was prescribed prednisone for 2 days by a doctor which I took and the rash subsided. I had a rapid test completed on the 2nd day of prednisone (24 days past intercourse) but know this may not be a reliable indicator).

However, the prednisone accelerated the osteoarthritis in my knees and hips, and I am now trying to get off prednisone. And this is the real problem of prednisone. For most people with osteoarthritis in addition to whatever else, prednisone reduces healing in tissues that are inflamed (by reducing inflammation which is part of healing). This is not true for every kind of osteoarthritis..

In July 2012, taper completed and she developed rash on legs with blisters and serve itching. We canceled Ileostomy and started 10 mg Prednisone, itching continued not as serve. We visited dermatologists, Biopsy and nothing conclusive. Dr. thinks she has some other type of autoimmune disease. Until found they will not do surgery. Recommend seeing Rheumatologist. August 10 mg Prednisone started again and she started a Gluten Free Diet. She has been on for 8 weeks, then started a 2.

placed on prednisone for 7 days rash gone. The rash is present on face, neck, back,abdomen partially on his buttocks and groin(not as bad), and down his legs and inner thighs. His lower arms and legs do not have the rash. it is red and sandpaper like. His face is the same with very dry areas and his eyes are red and swollen. we do swim in a pond,(noone else gets a rash in the family) but considering his legs do not have the rash and his arms I am not sure what to think.

I was talking with my husband about prednisone. He has taken it off and on throughout his life for various joint inflammation. He has never had trouble coming off of it whether he was tapered off or not. I have had trouble each and every time I have been on it (for asthma related issues mostly). I always thought I was having "withdrawal" symptoms- horribly aching joints, pain, anxiety, sweats, something that sounds a lot like opiate withdrawal if you ask me.

When I got out of the shower I notcied a rash developing on the back/side of my arms and faintly on my abdomen knees and lower legs. I still had the pain with eye movement. I flipped and went to the doc. I was running 100 fever. Doc said that the rash didn't look to be a reaction but told me to stop the Bactrim anyway. He prescribed Clindamycin "to have around in case the abscess returns) and Prednisone. Later that evening I had to fly. I wasn't feelin great but did anyway.

s dachshund Sam had a rash on his rear end. The vet put him on prednisone and my mom gave him a bath every other night with soap to help his rash. His rash got better, but then he drank a lot and vomited(the vet thought it was a fungus from the ground or something like that; the rash I mean). So he was taken off the prednisone, but when the label was printed off, it was the wrong instructions and he was taken off too quickly.

I'm an 18 year old male and I have had a reoccurring face rash for 6 years. The rash is typically on my upper cheeks, 1/2 and inch or so below my bottom lip, sometimes and my jaw, and sometimes on my forehead. It seems to be triggered by almost everything. If I ever sleep anywhere other than my house I will surely get it. I also get it from swimming, being in nature (mountain biking and hiking). Being in the sun irritates it. Water makes my skin feel constricted.

I have some prednisone left over from a spider bite last week at the emergency room. I need to know if I can cut them up for 2 of my 9 cats that have visited my home and decided to stay. please do not say go to a vet since I am 69 and on Medicare and Medicaid. this is a town with no low cost clinics. I feel so bad for them . I cannot stand it. I have tried everything in my medicine cabinet including antifungal powder,spray and liquid. Also tried topical a .
