  • Title: Steroid acne after orthognathic surgery.
    Author: Precious DS, Hoffman CD, Miller R.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1992 Sep; 74(3):279-81. PubMed ID: 1407985.
    Abstract:
    Steroid acne is a common unwanted effect in patients undergoing corticosteroid therapy. Eight women in a series of 1276 adult patients had acne after orthognathic surgery in which short-course parenteral corticosteroid therapy was used to reduce postoperative swelling. Steroid-induced acneiform eruption is different from acne vulgaris in that the former usually resolves on its own, without scar formation, after withdrawal of the drug.
