A member asked:
Is it common to have a reaction on the face to prednisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unusual: Prednisone is a medication used to temper the immune system. It is often administered to people to suppress allergic reactions. Though not impossible, it is very unusual to see what sounds like an allergic reaction to prednisone. You need to discuss this with your doctor.
