How To Switch From Prednisone To Mediven?
Mediven. Where do I even begin. I have battled with bad skin for years now. I apply mediven to my face twice and it clears up real fast. I go a day or two without it and the skin starts to misbehave. So it s a cycle of on n off with mediven. Then the worst thing started to happen. It started making my skin lighter. So I went off mediven and started swallowing predinsone tabs which work so great I had to Google the side effects. Now I am scared of prednisone and have to stop with the tablets. My only option is to go back to mediven. Please doctors. Help me.

Hi,
You should consider seeing a dermatologist for assessment if you have not already done so or seen more than one for at least 2 opinions on appropriate treatment.
It is possible that the medication can be switched to an alternative.
