Chronic burning and itching of my scalp 10 months post brow lift

My doctor did a small prednisone taper (24,20,16,8 4mg) last week. The first two days i had relief and as soon as I tapered down it all cmae back. My question is: would a more significant prednisone taper perhaps help? Or would it just mask symptoms while on it then come Right back ? My feeling was given how severe this is i possibly need a more significant prednisone taper rather do a seven day treatment than start chronic neurontin with its many side Effects Any experience with this?
