Acne and steroids?

Posted Sun 27 Aug 2023 12.52 by Sickofpsoriasis

Hi, I am curious to know if anyone using topical scalp steroids also suffer from persistent acne issues. Went down a google rabbit hole (as you do) and reading there is a link. But not in a position to stop topical treatment. Was fed up with my acne tonight as well as psoriasis so interested in your experiences..

Corticosteroids can cause acne, yes. Not sure whether they cause local acne when administered topically though. Is the acne in your hair or at your hairline?

Hmm no it isn’t…
