ACNE

Acne is a common side effect of steroid use, often resulting from increased oil production and hormonal changes. To manage acne, topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid can help reduce inflammation and clear pores. Retinoids are also effective for controlling breakouts by promoting skin cell turnover.

Oral medications, such as antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline) and Accutane (isotretinoin) for severe cases, may be prescribed under medical supervision. Practicing a consistent skincare routine, maintaining a balanced diet, and staying hydrated can further help in managing acne. Regularly cleansing the skin post-workout is especially beneficial for keeping breakouts at bay.
