I had chicken pox started from 1st nov'18, in 2 weeks it got down, during that suddenly heavy skin rashes and inflammation occurred most part of the body wherever I itched. Then I have consulted a dermatologist who prescribed me 30 mg (3 TAB) omnacortil for 15 days & 1 TAB HHFEXO 120 after breakfast and night TECZINE 10 (1 Tab) for 10 days, the situation is under control but I don't know whether I have to stop medicine or not? I read in practo and in Lybrate we don't stop taking steroids suddenly, gradually we have to reduce the dose as omnacortil is a steroid. What I suppose to do, pls suggest.

Do not stop Omnacortil suddenly. If previously you were taking it twice then take it once for 7 days and then decrease the strength of tablet ie if its 30 mg then take 10 mg for again 7 days. Its not very harmful but do not take risks. Need any further consultation then do take my appointment.
