"NOTHING prescribed by my dermatologist has even touched this disease. Prednisone is the first and only thing that has given me relief. However, my doctor is cautious and will only prescribe one round of use. Once it is discontinued, the condition returns full force."

"Any time I am given prednisone for my COPD flares, my LS gets better, no itch, no burn, no sores. As soon as I stop, like 3 days later, if that, the symptoms come back and are very bad. I wonder if my Dr will give me a low daily dose to see if it stops my LS flares?"

"I have asthma and have taken prednisone on occasion. It is my understanding that it can contribute to having thinner skin. My lichen scleroderma, to me, gets worse after taking this medicine. It's great for my asthma but bad for the skin. It also causes you to bruise more easily. I wish there was something for asthma that did not involve this medication and/or steroids."
