A member asked:
Do i necessarily have to be off prednisone for my moon face to disappear or can i be on a low dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: I will assume that you have the option of decreasing the dose of prednisone or discontinuing it altogether. The answer is yes the moon face may go away with a reduction in the dose. Definitely, the appearance will return to normal if the medication is stopped altogether.
