How Can Fungal Skin Infection Be Treated?
I am on prednisone 14mg daily and have been on this drug for a year. I treated a skin irritation with topical cortisone ointment and then a topical antifunal medication. I now have a painful rash all over my body and am using a topical oil, Fluocinolone acetonide .01% as prescribed by the dermatologist. Ice packs are the only relief I get from the pain. What more can I do? Can I take benerdryl? I am awaiting biopsy results and blood test results.

Hi,
You can take NSAID like acetaminophen for pain.
You can take benedryl and there are no contraindications for that.
Continue using ice packs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
