Pulmicort and Acne

[Giggles]

I have been having a problem with acne and never use to and I was wondering if it was from the long term use of Pulmicort? Does anyone else notice this or have an opinion? I read on the Internet that long term use of steriods like Pulmicort could cause increase in Acne. Along with bone loss too, which I have also.

Just wanted to see what people thought or experienced.

I am thinking of getting off the Pulmicort and see what happens. If I do, any suggestions on alternatives that would not be a steroid? I already do inhaled albuterol but I could add another treatment during the day on a more regular basis if need be. If it means clear skin I am willing.

Thanks

I don't take Pulmicort, but do take Advair and about a month after I started the Advair I started getting acne on the lower parts of my face, chin, jawline, etc. I think it's related to the Advair and it keeps getting worse. I asked my doctor to prescribe Differin gel, I've been using it for about a week now and it seems to be working, it's very expensive though, and often insurance won't cover it.
