A member asked:

My skin flushes on my abdomen in the evenings. could recently completed prednisone course be causing this? or another cause? i drink very rarely.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to clarify : There could be a variety of explanations. Uncertain if is related to prednisone, but it could be. Why did you take prednisone? Less likely are neuro endocrine hormones. Your evaluation will look at this.
