Can Prednisone Be Taken For Allergic Rashes On The Face?

Hi I have an allergy on my face like redness and sometimes rashes and I maintain anti histamine. But this is not my concern right now. I just arrived here from the Philippines two weeks ago and my problem is my two lips, cracking, thick, so swollen, rashed around my mouth and paining. can I take prednisone 10mg as I also took it before when I was in the Philippines. Can I still take prednisone? Thank you very much.nr

Hello,

I think, you might be suffering from Angioneutric edema because of severe allergy and I think, you just have to consult a nearby doctor before taking Prednisone medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
