Can Prednisone Medicines, Cause Excess Sweating?

Hi,.....I've been experiencing excessive sweating while I sleep.....it literally is running off my chest. I was diagnosed with lichen planus last week and I'm now taking Prednisone @ 40mg/day. Could the condition or the medication be causing the sweats. (the sweating started before I got the drug)
