I was diagnosed with colitis about 2 months ago and started off on 60 mgs for awhile and now I am down to 20 going down by 5 for a per week. I am feeling good now and eating pretty normal stuff. I am 21 years old so it obviously a big year with all my friends drinking and going out. I want to know if someone could break down the information about drinking on 20 mgs prednisone and if this is a bad idea. I was told by the doctor not to drink all summer about 2 months ago. Obviously I dont want to go back to where I was 2 months ago, but then again I have given up alot of nights of going out. Also, the prednisone has casued acne on my face that looks more like a a rash. What do you recommend I treat this with. I have just been using an acne wash. Any information about these subjects would be helpful.
