The pimples you are experiencing are a common, temporary side effect of Medrol (methylprednisolone), often called steroid acne. This usually improves once you finish your prescribed course. In the meantime, wash your face gently twice daily with a mild cleanser and avoid squeezing the breakouts. Over-the-counter topical treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can help clear your skin. Please do not stop taking your medication abruptly without consulting your prescribing doctor. If the acne is severe or persists, a dermatologist can provide safe, targeted treatments.
