Skin feels suburnt

My 18 year old daughter has been on a intense dose of steriods to reduce swelling in her injured knee. She has finished the steroid dosage two days ago. And started daily Naproxen anti inflammatory the next day to keep the swelling down.
About 1/2 way through the steroid dosage and continuing today she is experiencing skin sensitivity. She says that her back feels sunburnt. And everywhere else, when an area is bumped lightly (harder than a touch) the feeling lingers for about a minute.
My question is: could this be a side effect of the large steroid dosage or something new requiring medical attention? Please help.

Hi there. The cutaneous side effects of corticosteroids includes hyper or hypo pigmentation, subcutaneous and cutaneous atrophy, sterile abscess, urticaria etc. Facial erythema, thin fragile skin, increased sweating, petechiae and ecchymosis are others. Steroids may suppress reactions to skin tests. You must see a dermatologist at the earliest to check if your symptoms fit in the scene. Hope this helps. Take care.

Thank you. I had to google most of those words to understand them. :) My daughter is  not experiencing discoloration of skin, rashes or hives or anykind including on her face, she is not experiencing skin that tears, breaks or even bruises easily, she has not complained of increased sweating, and she does not have small red spots on her body.

Simply put she is oversensitive to touch. Her back feels sunburnt and tender to the touch. I am not quite sure what a dermatologist would do with this; it may be a misnomer but I have always thought that derms were seen with rashes/skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis, or for skin cancer detection. LOL. I feel that would be a waste of time and money and that we will be referred elsewhere. When I googled her symptoms I find no mention of dermatology; only neurological issues as possibilities, and most of them sound scary. But I am also aware that with the high doses of steroids she has been on and recovering from influenzia B to top it off; this might just be a reaction that will go away.

I guess my reason for posting was to find out if any responses seemed that this was urgent and medically dangerous symptom or side affect that needed immediate attention.

I will continue to monitor her fever, flu recovery and skin symptoms and if the skin does not get better now that she is off the steroids, and as the flu is getting better; I will take her in to be seen by a doctor. Not sure what type yet; neurologist or a dermatologist.  :)

Thank you for you time.
