A member asked:

I have seborrheic dermatitis , will taking a course of anabolic steroids make it worse. i'm only taking the steroids for the gym to help bulk up?

Stop themk: I'd be surprised if any of the doctors here told you it was ok to keep taking anabolic steroids. They can cause impotence and infertility, high cholesterol and heart disease, liver tumors and decreased liver function, severe acne, prostate enlargement, mood swings... The list goes on. I'm not sure if they will worsen your seb derm, but they sure won't help.

Manage it: Nowadays seborrheic dermatitis is very easy to manage even though it's not curable; only the most severe cases need to be care for by dermatologists. Trying anabolic steroids may increase the amount of sebum that the fungi live on, but there are other reasons to be a natural bodybuilder instead. I've been around gyms for years & most ordinary health-minded guys who try 'roids have been sorry.
