Prednisone allergy r u kidding me? prednisone is supposed to treat them.

Unlikely: It is very unusual to be allergic to orednisone. Often, a known reaction to steroid use is interpreted as an allergy. Many people develop facial flushing from prednisone. This is often times inferred as an allergic reaction it is not.
