Lat Nov. 26, i had hives and rashes all over my body and was given a steroid "Prednisone 30mg for 3 days. Then stopped. After a week. I noticed swelling in my arms, ankle and had moon face.Read on the internet that this is the side effect of taking the steroid. The rashed and hives slowly went away but not completely, Dec 1 was the last day of my 3rd Prednisone. It has been 21 days but the rashes are still present in my body. Then I still have itches and sometimes i see my arms, ankle and face swell then went away, then came back. Is this normal? when will the rashes completely go away and are my swelling also part of the prednisone. It comes and go. Thank you
