Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
Nothing serious. You may take an OTC antihistamine e.g tab cetrizine 10 mg once daily at night for a few days.
Topically you may apply a soothing lotion to calm down the rash e.g calamine lotion.
I would like to know the reason for which prednisolone was prescribed.
