Steroid Acne vs. Pityrosporum folliculitis: the incidence of Pityrosporum ovale and the effect of antifungal drugs in Steroid Acne.
International Journal of Dermatology, 1998Co-Authors: Soo-keun Lee, Sook Ja Son, Yun Suck Kim, Hong Yoon Yang, Jae Hong KimAbstract:Background Steroid Acne is a folliculitis that can result from systemic or topical administration of Steroid, and has been described as showing a similar clinical picture to Pityrosporum folliculitis, but there have been few reports about the incidence of Pityrosporum ovale and the effect of antimycotic drugs in Steroid Acne and other Acneiform eruptions. Our purpose was to describe the association between Steroid Acne and P. ovale, and to confirm the superior efficacy of oral antifungal drugs over anti-Acne drugs in the treatment of Steroid Acne. Methods The history, clinical features direct microscopy, histopathologic analysis, and therapeutic results of 125 cases with Steroid Acne or other Acneiform eruptions were described and compared. Results Over 80% of patients with Acneiform eruption receiving systemic Steroid revealed significant numbers of P. ovale in the lesional follicle. Furthermore, oral antifungal drug (itraconazole) showed significantly better clinical and mycologic effects than any other group of medications used in this study. Conclusions Steroid Acne and other Acneiform eruptions showing discrete follicular papules and/or pustules localized to the upper trunk and Acneiform facial skin lesions associated with multiple Acneiform lesions on the body in the summer period should be suspected as Pityrosporum folliculitis. In addition, oral antifungal drugs recommended for Pityrosporum folliculitis; however, it will require a larger case-control study to confirm the superiority of antifungal therapy over anti-Acne treatment.

Steroid Acne, P. ovale, and Itraconazole
NEJM Journal Watch, 1999Co-Authors: Nh ShearAbstract:Acneiform eruptions caused by systemic and topical use of corticoSteroids can be difficult to treat. Steroid Acne shows clinical similarities to Pityrosporum folliculitis.

Severe Striae and Steroid Acne as Side Effects of Long-term Systemic CorticoSteroid Treatment: A Case Report and Review of The Literature
Bulgarian Association of Young Surgeons, 2019Co-Authors: Farida TabriAbstract:Background: Systemic corticoSteroids are often used in dermatology. The anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties of corticoSteroids make this agent as the first-line option in many disorders such as autoimmune and bullous diseases. However, there are also potential side effects and dermatologists who prescribe corticoSteroids have to be aware of them. Case Summary: We report a 16-year-old girl with a history of taking oral methylprednisolone in the past 8 months who came with a Acne-like eruption on the face, chest, and extremities as well as lines on the skin. Physical examination revealed monomorphic papules on the facial, thorax, and superior and inferior extremities region. Comedones were absent. Striae were found in the bilateral femur, abdomen, and mammary region. The patient was diagnosed with Acneiform eruption and striae distensae rubra. Treatment using a combination of topical clindamycin and tretinoin showed clinical improvement of the Acneiform eruption after three months of therapy. However, striae did not show improvement despite topical application of tretinoin and Centella asiatica extract. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the importance of understanding the cutaneous side effects that may result from chronic systemic corticoSteroids administration as well as the evidence-based management
