    Glossary Steroid Acne

    inflammation and pimples caused by corticosteroid or anabolic steroid use

    Steroid acne, also known as steroid-induced acne, is a type of acne that occurs as a side effect of taking corticosteroids or anabolic steroids. It typically presents as small, uniform red bumps and pustules, often on the chest, back, and face. This condition arises due to the steroids' impact on the skin's sebaceous glands, leading to increased oil production and clogged pores.
