Is It Safe To Take Prednisone For Intense Rashes All Over Body?

I have an intense all over body rash. The dermatologist did biopsies today and put me on 80 milligrams of prednisone for three days to calm down the rash and itch until results come in on Friday. I have been doing a lot of outside work, weed whacking, cleaning my basement, garage and rafters, and handling a lot of different cleansers to clean and sell my house.Rashes make me nervous as my mom died of inflammatory breast cancer. Should I be concerned.Yes, I have some rash on my breast, chest, but mostly on my extremities.Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is the hypersensitive reaction and not the malignant disease if the allergen being known then better to stay away from this and better try some antihistamine too and best would be "Tab Hydroxyzine 10mg" three times in day, hope this helps, and have a nice day.
