I used to take accutane for an acne condition when I was 18 for about a year. IT really made my whole face dry (chapped lips, nose bleeds, and severe flaking of forehead, cheeck bones, and side burns). I guessed becuase accutane screwed around with the sebaceous glands. But i didnt get seb derm until 24 years old. But maybe that stuff was potent enough to cause something. But i agree with you 100% about the prednisone.

Last year my dermatologist gave me 3 weeks-worth of prednisone for an eye infection that wasn't even inflammed. During week 3 I broke out with tons of acne all over my jawline, chest and back.

I've decided that I just can't bring myself to take the steroid. I am keeping things under control by using moisturizer and getting sun. The tan also helps mask the redness. I think I'm going to try one of the green or blue tinted lotions that the rosacea people use to mask the redness. Anyone tried any of these? Thanks so much for everyone’s great input!

I have Crohn's disease (another immunological problem) and when I flare up in the abdominal area the first (and practically only thing) I get at the hospital is prednisone. It gets the job done right pretty quick, however, the catch is I start out with a large dose which I have to ween myself off of, which goes on for months. Being on prednisone for that long, even as I'm lowering the doses, results in shitty side effects like insomnia and sleep disruption. And worst of all is the unrelenting acne which obviously makes the sebderm worse. I would chuckle to myself when I would hear people talk about prednisone temporarily helping their skin. There probably is some truth to that, but the key word is TEMPORARY. My problem is I've been on prednisone for a long time, and then when I stop taking <!--more--> it I have a Crohn's flare up and I have to repeat the whole process over again, and that much prednisone has destroyed my face. So be sure to ask your doctor how long you'll be taking it and if you have to ween yourself off it. Taking a large dose and then stopping it real soon might be risky (at least that's what I'm told). I pray I don't have to go back on it. For what its worth, I've been taking flax, fish and borage pills, which may kinda sorta be helping, and the apple cider vinegar treatment, which is definately helping more than anything else.

What you may have, as I do, is underlying rosacea i.e. I can totally clear up the sebderm with the power of the sun (using a lower factor protection than I normally do - if I had no protection at all, I'd be a beetroot) but even with no sebderm on my face, I have a slight underlying pinkness to my cheeks, chin and nose. Have never used oral steroids so no advice regarding that I'm afraid. In my experience… if sunlight helps alleviate the redness and
