Hi, my mother is 43 years old and she is suffering from psoriasis for several years. In the last few months her condition get worse and she went to see her doctor. He told her to continue with using prednisone and tell her to come back in a month. I would like to know if it all right to use prednisone for such long time.

Hi, my friend also had psoriasis and she also uses prednisone. It is corticosteroid so it is not good to be used for a long time. When psoriasis is in remission she would stop taking it but gradually because sudden stop may cause contra effects. Also prednisone may cause some other problems like interrupting immune system.
