My husband is finishing his 3rd round of steroids and this morning new spots popped up behind his knees - he is so frustrated beside the fact that I got a horrible case of PI last Saturday and am going through the steroid regime....can anyone tell us what the best steriod regime is? Mine was 10 days starting with 50mg and decreasing by 5 each day - seems to have worked pretty good. My husbands is 30 mg for 3 days then 20 mgs for 3 days then 10 mgs for 3 days - different doctors.....he's done this 3 times now...I don't know how long he can stay on the prednesone and it's just not working.....please help! We are itchy! We did wash with Gain - that was a new one from the latter doctor......hhhhmmm Thanks
