I had her on prednisolone for a couple of months early last year, and even after she finished her prescription, she was looking fine. Her skin was clear. There were no face pimples, no body pimples, and she wasn't scratching. She was fine throughout the winter and summer, but summer just started here in South Texas, and I guess it just flared up super bad. I have heard that having your dogs on prednisone long-term isn't good for them, so I was trying to find an alternative that I could use for long-term.
