Cysts after steroids: Cysts following a steroid cream would be unusual. . See your dermatologist for further details.

Not likely: Oral steroids like Prednisone when used for a few days to treat an allergic reaction typically do not predispose to recurrent skin lesions except possibly acne. Steroid induced acne will improve gradually off steroids. Multiple cysts should be further evaluated by a dermatologist.
