How Can I Prevent Acne While Taking Prednisone?

by admin on September 14, 2009

I am starting an 8 week dosage of prednisone and I want to know how to prevent myself from getting acne while I’m taking that medicine. I know that acne is one of the side effects from that drug. I took it once before and I got a bad case of acne that was really painful. Thanks in advance.

I also suffered from acne while taking prednisone. I am still currently taking prednisone, but my acne has recently cleared up. I’m blemish free & can’t figure out what I’m doing differently.
An antibiotic like tetracycline would probably help with your acne & does not interact with prednisone. I’d ask your doctor about this before beginning a regimen.
Good luck!
