Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand your concern about pimples after starting on wysolone.

This is called as acneiform eruption and it is a side effect of oral steroid, wysolone. However, since wysolone is very essential for you, you cannot stop it.

For the pimples, wash your face with a pH balanced face wash, preferably a one containing 1-2% salicylic acid. You may apply a gel containing clindamycin 1% in the morning over pimples and Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at night over pimple prone areas. Get these prescribed by your doctor.

Hope this helps you.

Wishing you good health,
Dr. Johny Chacko
