Predisnolone and Acne

Hi all,

Currently on Prednisolone which has resulted in severe acne on back and shoulders. Anybody experienced the same thing and any recommendations to help deal with them. I was hoping the acne would reduce as my steroid dosage is reduced but that doesn’t seem to be happening. Thanks

Ive been on predisolone since last March and have been slowly reducing and after a few attempts am now on 3mg. Have started in the last month getting acne on my chin and chest/shoulders. Im not sure if its because of the menopause or the steroids!
