A member asked:
I went to the doctors for a rash or inflammation on my legs and he injected steroids and prescribed steroid pills will it go away and how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If your doctor prescribed steroids for a rash then he diagnosed you with an allergic or inflammatory condition. Take over the counter antihistamines as well like zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) daily, it will help. Good luck!
