Has anyone had an allergic reaction to prednisone that presented as a pronounced rash over much of the body? Not itchy or painful but unsightly?

@alissahe, I haven't had the rash symptoms but did find some information on them.
"Some side effects and what to expect from them include: Allergic Reactions: The most prevalent reactions are hives, skin rashes, itching, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the lips, tongue or face. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact an urgent-care provider or your local emergency room."

Have you talked to your doctor or rheumatologist about the rash? Did it start immediately after taking prednisone?

No but ai have read about it, it's definitely an allergic reaction so call your doctor. Perhaps they will lower your dose or try something else. Call as soon as they open. If it gets worse or impedes your breathing, go to the ER or call 911. 999 in the UK.
