Is Bumps On Legs And Arms A Side Effect Of Prednisone Shot?
Hi, I was given a prednisone shot and then prescribed prednisone pills to take for sun poisoning. I m 4 days in and just broke up in a rash and TONS of bumps on my legs and arms. From what I read, it seems like a side effect. Is that true and how do I get rid of this?!

Hi,
I feel the bumps on your body are more likely to be effect of sun poisoning. Cortisone does not show such effect on skin. Please consult your doctor for change in dosage of the medicines in relation to excessive skin lesions you have.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
