I have been on prednisone for 3 yrs i was on a high dose for 6 mths in that time i gained 65 pds and my skin would tear at the slightest bump, my skin has returned to normal now i am on low dose prednisone. My doctor kept saying the skin will improve the BP will go away and the diabetes will improve and it did. I used products that are used on the elderly with skin tears to aid healing, it actually looks normal now with the exception of all the scars from previous tears
