Is it appropriate to request oral steroids to help clear up a rash from an allergic reaction? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your photographs and I am sorry to hear of your allergic reaction.  There are a number of steps to help address your rash and I would begin with gentle washing of the area, intake of benadryl, and then use of oral/topical steroids. Typically oral steroids are for more sever rashes but this is at the discretion of your injector.  Hope this helps.

Our bodies do heal on their own time table.  Within one to two weeks you should improve from a contact dermatitis.  Follow up with your treating physician if you don't see any change in a week.  You may also inquire about a Medrol Dosepak.
