I know your story…..age, activity etc. My pool place said no new chemicals. Never thought abt prednisone.
My itchy came in Dec , 5 months after stopping prednisone.
I went to Dermatologist who said it was a contact dermatitis, and he gave me anRX cream 2 times a day. Working so far.

@tweetypie13 Also, it would be more typical after stopping topical prednisone cream, but can also happen systemically. Again, curious -

@tweetypie13 so I think I traced the issue to a new bathrobe that I purchased a couple of months ago. Soft and cozy and delicious but it is synthetic and I have been sleeping in it, naked, on my back. I just started on cortizone 10 yesterday and have thrown out the bathrobe.
