Prednisone Side Effects and Withdrawal Symptoms

So I’m currently taking 7.5 mg prednisone but with no L.D. Aspirin and I have no bruising on my forearms, just very thin and dry skin that I have to keep moisturized! I also have that crepy skin on my forearm that I don’t like!! I think that’s from aging, not prednisone….☹️

Lucky you! We don't all experience the same side effects from drugs, including steroids. The bruising and extremely thin, fragile skin just on forearms and tops of hands is actually pretty common to people on Prednisone. Lots of info about this online. https://nmc-magazine.com/understanding-and-managing-thin-skin-caused-by-steroid-use/

Not sure I agree. I am 72 none of that skin. My wife has been on steroids the last four years and looks like a Georgia peach. True not everyone ages the same but I would say a lot more to do with prednisone enhancing the aging process.
