Brief Answer:
Hii. Please consult a Dermatologist. Don't take steroids without consulting
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Since there are no other systemic symptoms, I agree with your primary care physician. A dermatologist is necessary in this case. I will urge you not to take prednisolone until you visit a dermatologist.
