Is It Safe To Use Low Dose Of Prednisone To Treat Skin Rashes Under Nose?
Skin rash under nose. Seeing a dematologist. Have been prescribed and used a steroid cream. It sometimes kept it at bay but it did not go away. Now using just a prescribed facial cleanser. I have an appt. to see my dermatologist on the 17th. She stated that she hopes that I do not have to have a biopsy. Can a low dose of prednyzone be used instead? What rare my other options?
The symptoms seem to be related to skin dermatitis. You can use a steroid cream for local application. I also suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg in case of itching.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
