 Topic: Pred side effect?
Posted: 06 June 2009 at 10:59am |

Just wondering if anyone had trouble with what look like small boils/spots on the chest and head? Just wondering if so, how long they hang around for and what you have done to ease them? Have put up with them for ages now but they just seem to keep on coming.

The best advice I can give you is call your doctor and get an appt. They should be looked at since you're on meds. Lindy

Good advice. Suppose it's always best to get anything different checked out whilst on medication.
Thanks

Steroid-induced acne is an all too real consequence of corticosteroid use. I agree with Lindy, see your doctor to make sure you do not have a secondary skin infection such as folliculitis.

Prednisone can cause side effects such as sleep problems, vision problems, dizziness, nausea, acne, and headache. You can see more info here.
