Hello
thank you for trusting HCM
Dear Prednisolone may cause raise of blood pressure and it may increase the levels of blood sugar.
So take less amount of steroid of which will control your rash is useful. You can use anti histamines and emolients at the area of rash.
If symptoms not improved please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
