I had an Omnacortil 20 mg then 15 mg for 8 months. I was fully ok till the time due to prednisolone. But as i stopped taking Omnacortil for 2-3 months, it again relapsed.
Where ever crusty lesions were , again it started to appear. Now again I am consuming Omnacortil 20 mg.
Kindly suggest to me honestly, what Should I do now
