What Causes Rashes In Body Even After Taking Oral Predisone?

I have been having an allergic reaction to something. It started 3 days ago. I was treated on Saturday morning with an injection of Decadron and all the swelling and rash areas went away. They started coming back the next day Sunday and today Monday. I am taking oral Predisone but the rash continues to pop out on different parts of my body. I have not done anything different in regards to food or anything.

Hi,

You seem to have Hives or Acute Urticaria. Food and food preservatives, infections, drugs, alcohol, etc., are common causes of hives. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine, e.g., Tablet Cetrizine once a day for a few days. In addition, I suggest you to use a soothing lotion, e.g., Calamine lotion. Usually a week or 10 days of an oral antihistamine is sufficient for the treatment of hives.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S.
