if it is because of prednisone will it start to go away now that i'm off the medication...I have been taking prednisone for poison oak and have started getting pretty bad acne on my back and shoulders?
Generally when receiving a corticosteroid your body may be immunocompromised. This may allow bacterial infections to grow easier. Chances are this acne is due to a bacterial infection. Ask your doctor and see whether a tetracycline antibiotic is right for you. Chances are this acne will disappear with the tetracycline.
