Curious to see what opinions are out there. I am a new PA in primary care and I’ve seen a lot of different tapering schedules for oral steroids for allergic CD. Most PCPs or ED providers from what I’ve seen recommend a medrol dose pack. My attending suggests medrol dose packs for allergic CD.

I’ve also seen a 9 day taper schedule of prednisone 60mg x3 days etc tapered, this was a derm provider who Rxed this taper schedule.

Open evidence recommends at LEAST 14 days of oral prednisone to prevent rebound dermatitis, this seems like a lot and I have not seen someone do this personally. Im curious to know what the derm providers are doing in regards to this.
