Good corticosteroid ointment for pimples on the face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids and acne: Two problems here: 1. Corticosteroids may appear to improve acne at first, but eventually they worsen acne breakouts. 2. Ointments block pores and lead to more acne breakouts as well. Please see your dermatologist for better options for acne breakouts.
