How do you get rid of steroid acne?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Start with topicals: Both glucocorticoid acne and anabolic steroid acne may respond well to topical Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative.

Acne: Keep the skin clean and dry. Using benzoyl peroxide can keep the pores unclogged. Most importantly, the acne will subside as the steroid dose is lowered. Taking the steroids as directed is most important to your health. The acne will pass.
