Got Poison Sumac. Advised Prednisone. Does The Medication Help?

I have poison sumac, I saw my family doctor and they put me on prednisone. My only concern is that 1) it s all around my mouth possibly in it....so will prednisone clear that, 2) it s possible it could be in or near my vaginal region and will prednisone clear that up as well? At the moment the sumac is mostly on my face neck right breast region and the creases of my inner eye
