My rheumatologist had me keep a daily log to track my pain level and my prednisone dosage. He also told me that everyone is different and to listen to my body when tapering to a lower dose of prednisone and to not taper down unless I have little to no pain.

I think I would call my doctor or rheumatologist and let them know about the new skin symptoms on the face. Do you keep a daily log to track your tapering?
