What Do Red Patches On The Abdomen Indicate?

Hello I recently had any exposure to poison ivy or oak and have seen a doctor and received a prescription for prednisone in diminishing doses. I m 3 days into the treatment and have developed a large darker red patch on my abdomen in the waistline. Is this a common reaction for prednisone?

Hello,

Your symptoms are not a typical reaction to prednisone. I suggest you to stop using this medication. I also suggest to use antihistamines daily for relief. You can also use cool compresses for local relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
