A member asked:
I have red itchy blotches all over my skin more on arms. was taking prednisone for gout stopped a week ago could this be reaction from that or sun?

Red itchy blotches: Unlikely due to prednisone if you did have significant sun exposure it may be due to that. Limits sun exposure for the next week to those areas.
