Prednisone side effects

My husband has been on and off high doses of Prednisone for the last year, and side effects are devastating, including the thinning of his skin---and lesions caused by cuts and scratches that he isn't even aware have happened, will his skin (on his arms mostly) return to normal at some point? will all of the bloating in his face and belly disappear at some point? All opinions accepted.....doctors refuse to admit his skin damage is due to Prednisone, but I have no doubt WHATSOEVER.

Thank you fr your comment. The doctor who said the prednisone was not the cause had a nurse whose sister had the same effect, said it took about a month or so after being on low dosage for bat a year....so today is his last day, and now we wait and and see. "Bio oil" has been very helpful....
Good luck to you, and thank u!

I had similar skin problems while on low doses of prednisone and blood thinners. I am off them now as of a week ago so I haven't noticed any improvement yet.
