Is Itching All Over The Body A Possible Consequence Of Taking Prednisone?
Hello, Thanks for asking a question at Health care magic I will be glad to answer your question. This can be due to the symptoms, I can call late symptoms of poison ivy. You need to restart on prednisone tablet and taper it to stop for a week. Hope this helps Best Regards Dr Chaithanya
