What Causes Severe Itching Under The Breasts After Taking Prednisone For Poison Ivy?

I was Prednisone 10 mg for poison ivy for 5 days and finished it on Saturday. I ve developed a really bad rash around my waste, under my breasts, my neck and I can t stop itching. Is this a delayed reaction to the medicine or withdrawal symptoms. What else can I take to stop the itching.
