How long can 40mg prednisone burst affect the body? i got very dry eyes the first day on them. i still wake up with dry eyes 2 months after the last pill? also, it made my skin tight and dry, crepey, on my arms. is that permanent?

The medication is no longer in your system. It may have affected a specific process in your body that is responsible for your skin changes. I would discuss treatment options with your primary care physician or book a telemedicine visit on HealthTap.
