Clomid allergic reaction.... prednisone treatment ?

Hello all,

I am experiencing a severe allergic reaction to clomid. 7 days after starting my post cycle clomid therapy, I started getting a really irritating rash on my arms and chest. I stopped the clomid immediately but it has continued to spread.

I tried benadryl and hydrocortizone cream but they didn't help. So, I saw my dermatologist today and he prescribed me prednisone.

Reading the archives, I see many comments and recommendations about tapering off of prednisone rather than stopping cold turkey.

The prescription is for 40mg prednisone 1x per day for 8 days. Given my post cycle hormone condition etc.. should I taper it down for a few days at the end, or will be fine for this short amount of time?

Damn this rash sucks!!! :mad:

Thanks for any help.

All I know is that when I took prednisone I got bloated like a muther fucker.Not to mention acne all over my face.Dam I wonder if this means im prone to water retention on as...=(
