Entocort & acne problems

[luviez02]

I was diagnosed with Crohn's this past August and immediately placed on Entocort. I was on Entocort for about 2 and a half months and then over the last two weeks was weened off, as I have started Remicade. Over this time I feel I have gotten terrible acne, and got worse as the weeks went by. I've been off Entocort for one week now and I'm curious how long it took others before their acne subsided? It hasn't even started to get better, so I'm getting antsy not very fun.

Thanks!

Oh no! I'm just starting to taper Entocort and was told that my acne would get better as I tapered. My GP prescribed me some face wash but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Have you found anything to help?

I was told that acne that is a product of medications is hard to clear up with any other medications so I have done nothing, assuming it will go away when I came off the Entocort. I have a Remicade today, so I'll ask if they have any idea, but beside that I'm just trying to wait it out. I hope yours gets better too!
