So . . . I have this issue . . . .
October 6, 2025
Let's just say I wore sunglasses all weekend long . . .
Back at the end of June, early July, I had a very itchy, hot chest and I thought even though I didn't look sunburnt, maybe I got too much sun. Well, after two weeks, it was still itchy and started moving up to my neck. Red splotches, dry patches and very itchy. By August my lips were starting to blister and continue to peel no matter what I put on them! Then around my lips I started getting little red blisters too. And then by the end of August my eye lids were itchy and swelling too. I had a physical scheduled for September 8th and I was so excited to get in there and get help. They referred me to a dermatologist, and that would be great but they can't see me until March 3rd! The doctor prescibed me 40 mg of Prednisone for 5 days, then 20 mg for 10 days. By day 3-4 I finally was feeling relief! I thought I was finally better; I looked normal. Then the prednisone prescription was done. . . .within 2 days my symptoms were coming back full force. The doctor prescriped another 7 days of 20 mg prednisone and symptoms were less but still there. Now I am 5 days off prednisone and I don't know what to do. My skin is so itchy and swollen. It hurts and feels like I have been punched in the face! I am not sure what to do at this point, because I don't think my skin will last like this until March. I think my eyelids are going to pop!
Anyways here are the pictures I took each day of being off of prednisone!
