Avatar f tn I am diagonsed as graves too, and i am recently had hives, big rash on my head, legs , all over the body, I went to er and got benadryl , did not help, then dr prescribed me prednisone.
Avatar m tn The large unknown rashes are getting severer by the day (even thought I am still on Prednisone) and almost any parts of the skin (especially joint areas) feel itching and after a few scratches a large area rash would appear—it will get a bit better if I stopped to scratch it but will never completely go away . I am getting very distracted by them physically and mentally—no matter what they are it seems they are recurring and the frequency are getting higher.
1434400 tn?1283517385 I had minor inflammation in my chest and was getting horrible nasty low grade fevers from sun exposure. I started taking 10mg of Prednisone once a day and I got 2 significant malar rashes that came with 24 hours of fever and massive body aches. Then ended up in the hospital for a major Pleurisy attack with possible blood clot in my lungs. So I have been taken off the steriods. We are not sure why my body reacted like that, who knows, maybe it would have been worse with out the Prednisone.
Avatar f tn My son had to take 30mg of prednisone and the azathiorprine for months, as it takes awhile for the azathiorprine to kick in. The DR also told us he may never fully come off the prednisone. Zac also get rashes from the azathiorprine. He is only 9.
Avatar n tn I tried Doxepin too and had to stop because of the side effects, I have urticaria too and take some Reactine, Benadryl, Zantac and on some treatment that works for me, you don't know what his causing the urticaria????
Avatar f tn I am 30 yr old female, 2 days after taking MMR vaccination I started noticing rashes on my neck and within couple of days, rashes with itching had spread to my face, shoulders, arms and my face and neck were swollen, because of which I went ER.
Avatar f tn So I go to the Dr and they give me a round of prednisone which made made it go away. I made another appointment and came back 3 days later and had a clearview rapid finger prick test which came back negative. I had blood taken at my request. They sent the blood out for normal blood work and a STD test. At this point we are 35 weeks after my exposure. So my blood work comes back all normal for the most part.
Avatar m tn Yes you must check with your vet as soon as possible,also try Malaseb medicated shampoo it has no equal for most rash and its magic on hot spots and any nasty rashes, expensive from vets but good price on Ebay and very safe.
Avatar m tn Contact dermatitis causes rashes that can be itchy, painful, tender swollen and even blisters. Poison ivy, oak and sumac can cause itchy allergic rashes with raised welts. Take an antihistaminic for relief in symptoms. Application of calamine lotion may help. If you are not satisfied taking a second opinion from an expert dermatologist may help. Do write to us again. Take care and regards!
Avatar n tn Dear Sirs, I've just come back from holidays in Jamaica and 3 days ago I got a heat rash. I'm taking the Prednisone 40mg a day. My arms and legs look better and there is no itchy, but I still have some burning sensation on my face, neck and chest. It appears suddenly and keep for a while, it cools down a bit with help of cold water.I wonder whether this fine redness and burning on my face and neck is part of the heat rash or maybe something else? Any advice what to do more?
Avatar n tn coz of swollen face and rashes, i will now bulldozed and pulverized/ground/pound/minced this harmless colorful looking plant in our backyard
1716896 tn?1308880762 I was taking 20mg prednisone twice daily for 3 weeks, and my last dose was monday night. Today is Thursday, and I am developing an itchy rash over my whole body, do you think it is related? Also, my heart rate is also 104 at rest and I have a dull headache.
Avatar f tn I then went to an allergist who put on prednisone, I felt zoned, but this did not help the rash. I took my last dose of prednisone and now the rash is spreading down my neck and worse than ever. I believe the prednisone made it worse. I was on for 14 days and my highest dose was 60mg. Any way I am at my wits end. I am seeing my GP again tomorrow. Any ideas of what it might be?
Avatar m tn Over the past couple months I have been increasingly itchy and Eczema like rashes have been appearing all over my body. My boyfriend has been getting similar symptoms. The kicker to it all is that we have two roommates, neither of which have experienced what we have. What we know: We are both allergic to cats and the previous tenant had some. We have a dog. The apartment has all brand new carpeting that was put in before we moved in, new paint, new flooring, new applications, new roofing.
Avatar f tn sometimes it would be red dots and other times it would spread into large red patches. i was on prednisone for about two and a half weeks and came off it last week. ive been taking benadryll 25mg and zyrtec 10mg regularly, and the rash had all disappeared except that my cheeks and palms still get flushed when im nervous, cold or take a hot shower.
Avatar f tn I have been having a lot of pain in my legs, back, hands and arms. Ibprofen and other things don't seem to help it. I do not know how to make if feel better. Some of it is in the muscles that are extremely tight and others seem like joint pain. Just wondering. My doctors won't prescribe anything else. I have tried Lyrica and a bunch of arthritis meds. Again I am undiagnosed so they are also trying to figure out what I have.
Avatar f tn I soak in the hot tub with the family for 15 minutes, go back to the hotel room and sleep and wake up the next day with swollen eyelids on top and bottom, swollen sinus, and my checks, earlobes and whole face are swollen, hot to the touch and red. I feel better when I stand up and move around but after 3 days, the face is still swollen and starts to crack and peel on third day. The first time this happened, the ER doctor thought it was an allergic reaction to a new med.
Avatar m tn For that, he prescribed Prednisone. I did just get off taking an antibiotic for a facial infection, and take clonazepam and Propranolol for anxiety. All this rash stuff is driving me crazy. No tests were done, just a visual by the MD. I tried Aveeno Cream and bath wash for the posion ivy rash, helps a little, but the rashes return. What's going on ?
Avatar f tn Hey Jessica, I was put on Remicade last year and my body became resistant to it. I started breaking out in rashes and my mouth would blister, it's a lot better than it sounds, I swear. But I started Humira in December. For the first month and I half I was moody and tired all the time. I felt so hungry and I ended up gaining about 60lbs, apparently most of it was water from the prednisone. Everything has precautions, but I think if you're doctor is willing to try it, it's worth it.
Avatar f tn I have had a rash on my sides and calves and a few on my arms been to dr they have gave me prednisone something for fungal they have gave me permethrin for scabies and redbugs I've used over counter cream for eczema stuff starts too help then comes back it itches but the itch isn't too bad a friend of mine who is a nurse thinks I'm allergic to something that I've changed but I don't have insurance to go to a dermatologist so can anyone help me any suggestions
Avatar f tn For the past month and a half I have been experiencing major itching all over my body. At first it was just my hands and feet. I went to the doc and was prescribed Prednisone to take in a tapering dose (day 1=60mg, day 2 =50mg, etc). It worked and my itching was relieved. A few days after the last dose the itching came back again with a vengeance and additional itching on my legs. The doctor again prescribed prednisone to taper but in smaller doses(day 1=40mg, etc).
Avatar f tn Well it could be PMR, but other causes too need to be investigated and ruled out. Unexplained aches and pains with rashes coming on and off could be due to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, H pylori infection, anemia, liver disorders, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Vit B12 or Vit D deficiency and due to calcium or magnesium deficiency. It can also be due to sleep related disorders.
Avatar f tn Good evening~ My sister is having this same type of reaction (x2 days) with it seeming to worsen a little with benadryl and prednisone (steroids). Did you rash clear up, and did you find out what the cause was? Was there a particular medication that cleared it up? Would appreciate any input you can give. Hers is quite severe looking. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I am interested in Parkinson's research on the use of Prednisone to treat symptoms. My husband has had Parkinson's for about 10 years and recently took 5 days of 20mg. Prednisone tables twice a day for a pinched nerve. It completely removed his symptoms; he was tremor ... [More] free, clear thinking, strong voice, no walking problems, no slowness - NOTHING! It was like a miracle. He is now done with the Prednisone, and is back to where he was before.
Avatar m tn Well im not sure about the different steroids out there but im talking like corticosteroids, the kind used for skin problems like rashes and such. I took prednisone and some other kind of oral steroid (not sure the name) but i took them for some rashes i was getting. With my last one being about a month maybe 2 before i tested negative.
Avatar f tn Someone posted that their sister was diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) and was given Prednisone injection, which made the itching and bumps go away. I called the dermatologist office and told the receptionist about the outbreak and got an appt two days later (tomorrow). I'm hoping for the Prednisone shot. In another post, some women tied their similar symptoms to Mirena IUD, which I am now using. They claim they never had allergies until they had Mirena implanted.
2090601 tn?1334515062 ve had two different kinds burning red covering my arms and face and butt that drives me crazy. And these pimple like sores that show up 1 or 2 at a time have been all over but not all at once and they hurt like hell and have a hard center in the middle that for me wouldn't heal or stop hurting til I got the middle out.
1807991 tn?1438779770 I am SVR after triple therapy for 5 years now. I recently took prednisone for a severe rash from taking acedametaphine. After 3 days of prednisone every horrible side effect I had from triple therapy came back! I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen, I quit my prednisone drug regiment 4 days early because of the side effects. At this point I pretty much will not take a prescription med again unless I'm in a coma.
