Received an appointment quickly, about an hour wait; OK for urgent care. Provider was nice, responsive to the allergy skin condition I had. I was given 5 days of 60mg Prednisone, decreasing to 40mg and topical steroids. This does was very high, after 5 days I was left shaking, blood pressure high and the skin condition was not controlled, hives, red and itch spread to my entire face, neck and chest. Went to my primary provider who gave me a Solumedrol injection and 7 more days Prednisone at 20 mg, decreasing to 10mg, then 5 mg. Also added supplements and OTC antihistamine combinations. No more topical steroids as these made the condition worse. Following up with Dermatology.
