Usually if your prone to a side effect such as acne before steroid use , the use steroids will amplify this side effect.

Same as if you are prone to hair loss, then the use of steroids will speed up the hair loss process.

go punch yourself majority of gear are oil based, and when injected obviously increases oils in your skin, along with your hormones being jolted. So in the end yes it will make your acne and backne worse

The steroids stimulate the production of sebum from the sebaceous gland cause inflammatory response and acne formation. roccutane in combination of antibiotics and laser treatment can eradicate and prevent steroids-induced acne

Agreed.

My skin wasnt that bad during puberty, but it wasnt perfect. Since using steroids my skin is scarred all over. My skin must be abnormally sensitive to androgens. Although some steroids I'm ok with.
