Skin Reaction to Steroids Posted: 09-24-03 12:33pm
I have recentley been on a small doasge of
otc anabolic steroids to rehab my knee.
After being on the pills for 4 days I have
developed systemic rash-like bumbs all
over my body. They itch from time to time
and seem to be rooted in the hair follices
only.
Any idea. I stoped yesterday and its
been one week.

That is really odd...Especially
considering that steroids are
anti-inflammatories...They use steroids to
stop allergic reactions.
I would suggest seeing your doctor asap!
Just stopping steroids can be
dangerous...Thus, why they use tapers.
Your body naturally makes the
corticosteroids and they generally are
released in the mornings. However, if you
begin taking steroids; your body stops
making them naturally. Of course, this is
all related to time.. The longer you have
taken the steroids, the more dangerous to
just stop.
I hope you find some answers,

ps- I do know about steroids...I have been
on them for over 2 years at some serious
doses...
