Question on immunosuppressa..

My doctor have prescribed me to take Prednisone tablets for 2 weeks to cure my skin dermatitis. And it was cured. After two months it re-occurred (skin fungi). Then without my doctor's consent I repeat to take Prednisone without his prescription. Now, I have several skin diseases like a little scabbies on my right leg, ringworm on my left arm, dermatitis on the back of my neck, and a big stye on my left eye (eyelid). To top it all I have I think a bump (wart?) in my penis... I am so worried. I did a research in the internet about Prednisone, I found out that prednisone is an immunosuppressant drug. It means that it weakens my immune system as adverse effects. What will I do... I need an opinion prior going back to my doctor... Please help........... Can we counter the effect of immunosuppressant drug? This is a very big lesson for me, that I need to all the time consult a physician... Pleas help. Doctors out there. Note: I am taking 6 tablets per day for 2 months irregularly. :-(

I would not go to that doctor and am not surprised at the results of what he recommended to you. He obviously gave you a solution to your problem without understanding how the body works. It is so typical of doctors to give you a drug to solve a problem and create many other problems just to move you through his office in less than 15 minutes to maximize his profits.

The reason it re-occurred is that you didn't solve the problem in the first place, you simply masked the symptoms with the drug.
