Acne and dark marks on forehead / face
Hi, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease early 2012. The doctor gave me these strong steroid tablets which I had to eat for 8 weeks gradually decreasing from 8 tablets to 0 within each week. In the third week I started getting acne pimples. Before that I had never had acne. Once I stopped taking the steroid tablets I was put on permanent medication for life of ‘azathioprine and pentasa’. Now I have acne and very bad acne dark marks. I’ve been using this aloe Vera jel it’s had minimal impact.
