Hi Everyone,
So its been a long summer and I've had four rituxan treatments and have been tapering down on Prednisone from 40mg to currently 5mg. I'm feeling ok not 100%. Still not in remission since I still have a positive Anca in my recent bloodwork. But the number has gone way down. Anyway, my latest concern is I have developed Acne on the right side of my face. I've been to the dermatologist and I'm on a face cleaning regimen and applying creams. It's working but I see only a little improvement. I feel like a teenager again and the worst thing is I don't think I broke out like this back then. Can anyone relate to what I'm going through and does anyone have any advice on steriod Acne.
Thanks,
Michelle
