back acne and steroids

I guess I thought that the steroids would be out of my system earlier than that. I was hoping someone else had taken steroids and gotten better. It just worries me.

I have been having this random cluster of red acne like spots on the upper middle of my back. I'm not sure if it's acne or a rash from my laundry detergent? I've been using benzoyl peroxide acne cream but it's still there. It used to be raised a little like acne but now its all flat.

Hi, I have a history of acne, but this rash on my face is different and is strictly around my nose and mouth. Is it Perioral dermatitis? or could it be something else? and what should I do to treat this condition?

s cystic acne (far below the surface - no whitehead, usually tender and painful) or regular acne that forms white-heads. The cystic acne can be injected with steroids at a dermatologist's office to prevent long-term scaring.

Monomorphic acne-a variant acne. Been on any therapy like steroids some time ago?

In addition I was missing a small patch of hair on my neck. I was given topical steroids for the dryness and creams for my neck. The face condition cleared up but I began getting red bumps around my eyes and mouth sometimes and my scalp is itchy. Round Red spots are on my armpits, chest and groin. I was given creams for all these but they just come back. My face isn't bad but the rest doesn't seem to be getting better. The shampoo they gave me doesn't seem to control it that great.

I have acne all over the back of my head and on my back it hurts to touch in some spots and to dry my hair.

I was dx just over a year ago and have had really bad acne for about 10 months now. I thought it may have been from the prednisone, but I have been off of that for 5 months now and it is not getting any better! Any idea what it is from? Is it from being hyper, tapazole or still from the steroids? Thanks for any help!

Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination, but it can be due to Acne keloidalis nuchae. It occurs when hairs on the back of the head and neck grow into the skin, become inflamed, and cause scar tissue. These ingrown hairs usually occur following a short haircut on the back of the head and nape of the neck. Treatment of AKN includes suppression of the inflammation with antibiotics and steroid gels or intralesional steroid injections.

I had a course of oral steroids to re set my skin and he gave me some Protopic lotion to use halfway through the steroids and to use for two weeks. I consumed the steroids used a little of the Protopic and my skin was great. However, as soon as I stopped the rash came back. I stopped putting anything on my face except Hydromole to hydrate the skin and it cleared up mostly and seemed better. However, it then started to react to the Hydramole so I stopped putting anything on altogether.

Then I started getting really bad ACNE behind my ears and then its now on my face/upper back and neck really bad and they hurt, bumps and cysits, I had every Doctor trating me like I was 14 going through puberity and I was getting married to my husband, in November 2011 and it was sooo bad on my neck and back of neck he gave me steriod to take to make the swelling go down and I started getting a hump as soon as I took it and gave me a cream, the hump go sooo big 2 days after wedding, then saw

I came across this site when I googled red, itching, weeping acne.

Hello, For such symptoms acne keloidalis nuchae should be ruled out. It occurs when hairs on the back of the head and neck grow into the skin, become inflamed, and cause scar tissue. These ingrown hairs usually occur following a short haircut on the back of the head and nape of the neck. Treatment of AKN includes suppression of the inflammation with antibiotics and steroid gels or intralesional steroid injections.So apply antibiotic cream like Neosporin or bactroban.

However application of steroids at sites like face, eyelids, scrotum etc are replete with side effects like atrophy,acne and appearence of unsightedly blood vessels(Telangectasias).So be careful.

it makes me not want to wear any tank tops anymore. I have never had back acne or back pimples or chest pimples, well maybe a weird chest pimple hear or there but never acne. I need help, I want to know what this is because it's ugly & it really bothers me. I thought at first that these goosebumps like things were just sweat bumps but now they're on my back & they're bigger.

Not to mention body builders who take steroids and such to boost their T levels often deal with acne and breakouts in those areas. I would think that if the only change you made recently was going on the injections, it would be related to the new things you are seeing.

5 weeks from the day of exposure. All tests came back negative for both HSV 1 and HSV 2. I am now having some rednesss on my penis glans and tip as well as foreskin.My penis is a bit sore as well. Additionally I have acne-like pimples on my buttocks and anal itching as well as some blood when wiping today (which happens to me occasionally, presumably from overaggressive wiping) No apparent lesions. I have some itching and small acne like stuff around my groin.

I was never on IVSM, but a course of prednisone gave me horrible acne all over my face and onto my neck and back. It did clear up just fine, I think in about 2 weeks most visible traces were gone. It was embarrassing, I went through this while at a conference and had to make a presentation at peak pepperoni face level. I didn't do anything to treat it, I just waited it out. I stuck with my usual: I don't wear any foundation, and use mild soap to wash my face.

Hi, a couple of months ago, as the title of this post sugests ive started to get some acne mainly on my upper back and now also on my shoulders too. Cant believe it how it looks now and how it used to look (i was clear, and even used to make fun of my sister's acne on her back!). Damn puberty... =p What's the best product (cream or natural) that would get rid of these marks and acne effectively?

A week ago, I was hospitalized for asthma, a server sinusitis infection on the left-side of my face, and was given steroids, antibiotics, potassium (it was low), and insulin due to the steroids raising my blood sugars. Normally I'm non-insulin dependant. Please give me any idea what this could possibly be. PS - I have been putting neosporin on it, and rinsing it with a mild soap (Johnson's baby bar) Thank you in advance.

ve spread to cover my entire chest, upper arms(down to short sleeve length), and upper back pretty solidly. This past week, its spread to my lower back and upper butt, and the top of my stomach. I went to a dermatologist, and he diagnosed me with prurigo, gave me a prescription for some cream and told me to use sarna. Didn't explain what it was, nothing, so I looked it up when I got home - I do not believe that is what I have.

And long-term use of inhaled steroids has been linked to thinning bones and osteoporosis in both men and women, weight gain, mood swings, stunted growth and acne–just to name a few. While no one should give up their inhalers without talking to a doctor first, there are other ways to help breathe easier and limit or even eliminate the use of meds. First, if you’re obese, lose the weight.
