Well acquainted with skin discomfort. I have PMR and the Morphea form of scleroderma. The skin burning, itching and “electrical zaps” are improved on the prednisone. It does make finding clothing that doesn’t make it worse challenging. Anything with rough texture, tight elastic or rough seams is out. I used Clobetasol sparingly mixed in jojoba oil to problem areas. Sometimes over the counter hydrocortisone is enough to get relief. No hot showers or sun exposure, as that can make it all worse. Hope you find some relief soon!
