No no, I suffer from Wegeners and from last seven years I am prednisolone. Initially my body could not take oral tablets, so infusions were given. Later the body started. Often I had big (I mean really big) boils, being a teacher they used to burst in the class and students could point out puss and blood. When I was admitted for 6th relapse, the dermatologist suggested to just wash it with plain water time and again and no ointment. But in your case, please do consult the doctor. So these may be allergic or side effects. With warm regards.
