I know all this already, and I know it's a vain, minor problem, but can someone reassure me that the skin side effects of prednisone go away? I had been on 40mg, and finished tapering a couple of weeks ago, which was actually just these side effects started appearing. I didn't have this side effect when I've taken prednisone in the past, but this time, my skin has become kind of greasy and I've even got a couple of spots, and there's fine hair starting to grow on my face (I'm female). And I know this is so vain to care about, but my skin has always been one thing I could count on to be normal. One of the very few parts of my body that doesn't demand constant upkeep and care with medications or whatever, that I'm not trying to find solutions for or wishing I could fix.
So I'm sorry to post such a vain question, but when will my skin go back to normal? I've had one course of prednisolone in the past, but wasn't on it long enough for these types of side effects to occur. I've taken prednisone before, and while I didn't have skin problems other than some fine hair on my cheeks, I don't remember how long things took to go back to normal .
(I know the prednisone is still affecting me, as I've still got a very noticable moon face, and while I know moon face upsets people, for some reason it doesn't bother me.)
