Hi,
Oral steroids can accumulate fat within the body and liver. Evin should be a Vitamin E which is relatively safer drug.
I think your doctor is well aware of the above fact when he prescribed the medicine. It also means that you should follow up with him regarding the progress, adjusting dose and timely change in the prescription if the above mediction does not help.
I hope you are seeing Dermatologist / Rheumatologist for this.
Thank you.
