Steroid acne is a type of folliculitis that appears like acne, and is characterised by uniform small pink bumps and comedones, typically appearing on the forehead, cheeks, and chest.[1]
It is an adverse reaction to corticosteroids.[2]: 137 It is commonly associated with endogenous or exogenous sources of androgen, drug therapy, or diabetes and is less commonly associated with HIV infection or Hodgkin's disease.[3]
