Why is Prednisone causing changes on my face?

Patient's Query

I’m taking prednisone and see changes on my face

Dermatology

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Prednisone can sometimes cause changes in facial appearance, such as swelling or a rounded face, due to its effects on fluid retention and fat distribution. This is generally temporary and often resolves after completing the medication. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can help alleviate some symptoms. However, it’s essential to communicate any concerns with your dermatologist, who can offer tailored advice and may adjust your treatment plan if necessary.

To assist, use a mild face wash twice a day, and don't touch or squeeze the pimple. You can also see a dermatologist for a specific treatment.

Nasty boil down below. Female. Bathed for 3 weeks. Burst but now not leaking but swelling. Have antibiotics. BUT WILL IT BURST ALONE?

Female | 55

Aching and red bumps filled with pus are caused by microbes that enter the skin through cuts or hair follicles. It's good that the bump has burst, but the swelling is still a concern. Being on antibiotics should help fight the infection. The boil will usually drain on its own, and taking a bath and applying warm compresses can help it heal faster. If you develop a fever or the swelling worsens, see a dermatologist.

When treating pimples, it's better to avoid chewing medicines that are meant to be swallowed. Chewing them may reduce their effectiveness, as the medicine works best when taken as directed.
