Acne, oily skin, thinning or loosening of the skin, stretch marks, and delayed skin healing are all possible side effects of steroid usage, particularly if prolonged or unsupervised. Under your doctor's supervision, discontinuing or lowering the steroid may cause the acne to gradually improve; nevertheless, do not abruptly stop taking prescribed steroids on your own. Apply sunscreen frequently, use non-oily skin care products, wash your face gently twice a day, and refrain from pressing pimples. Adapalene or benzoyl peroxide creams are mild acne treatments that might be helpful, but if the acne is severe, painful, or leaving scars, see a dermatologist for safe skin care guidance and appropriate therapy.
