A member asked:

I'm taking prednisone for erythema multiforme and combined it with nabumetone. a sunburn like rash has formed on my chest and arms. please advice. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please call your doc: You may be having a reaction to your meds that could be progressive.I suspect the Nabumetone, since the prednisone is similar to hormone made by the body and is sometimes to treat reactions.
