I would say my skin has gotten better since I started the methotrexate and dropped from 8 mg prednisone to 5. I had a big purple bruise on my arm that had been there for months after I tore the skin in that spot. The bruise disappeared after I got to 5mg pred. I was using a small circular power sander last week. I turned it off and dropped it down to my side while it was still spinning and it hit my leg. I looked down expecting to see blood gushing but there were just 3 small scratches. They scabbed over and healed up within a few days. My hair, always thin but much worse with prednisone, now covers my head and I don't feel a need to wear a hat when I leave the house.
