Even though I am taking a heavy dose of Prednisone these flareups still occur. They can show up and develop like this one in less than 72 hrs. The top pic shows clearly the edema that my leg is experiencing. I went out to run some errands this morning and when I changed my clothes I noticed that the 'thing' had broken open. I simply cleaned it up the the best that I could and applied some Neosporin. It doesn't hurt but I am amazed that it showed up at all considering the dosage I'm taking.
