Are Hives A Side Effect Of Prednisone?

I thought I had poison ivy. I was given prednisone about a week ago. It was drying up everything I had. To day I woke up with three welts on my arm. I thought they were insect bites. Now I see two more on my other arm. I am afraid I have something else

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your question, if it is the confusing phenomenon as long as the skin manifestation is concern then it need to be clinically examined by dermatologist instead of having some ideas but it could be allergic disorders, second if this is responding to treatment then forget about the reason hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
