Seek immediate medical care if your prednisone rash is accompanied by difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, or tongue (angioedema), or a rapid heartbeat. These symptoms suggest a severe allergic reaction, a life-threatening condition requiring prompt intervention.
Other Urgent Symptoms
Contact your doctor or seek emergency care if you experience severe itching that disrupts sleep or daily activities, widespread rash covering a significant portion of your body, or blistering or open sores within the rash. Fever above 100.4°F (38°C) alongside the rash also warrants immediate attention.
Don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about your rash, even if it doesn’t meet the criteria above. Your doctor can assess your specific situation and provide the appropriate guidance.
