skin problems

[Elor]

I am down to 5.5 pred and have started to get spots around my eyes and nose. I had problems with acne as a teenager but these are of a quite different nature. They are small with a deep red colour. Would this be common? Any advice on effective creams would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Could it be rosacea? It is associated with pred.

A side effect of steroids can be acne.

I had hoped I had left that delight behind me! Rosacea is another possibility I’ll check with Doc. Thanks.
