Yes, these skin changes can indeed be a side effect of your medications. Specifically, Zempred (methylprednisolone), which is a corticosteroid, is well-known for causing a condition called "steroid acne." This typically presents as itchy, tiny bumps and pimples on the face, neck, and back. Additionally, medicines like Folitrax (methotrexate) or HCQs (hydroxychloroquine) can sometimes trigger skin reactions. Please do not stop your medications on your own. I highly recommend discussing these symptoms with your doctor, who can safely adjust your treatment or prescribe a gentle therapy to help soothe your skin.
