Effects of Steroid Abuse

Steroid abuse is a big problem. We’re still finding issues in high schools where kids are trying to be like the pros, following their poor example and doing what they can to get stronger, bigger, and faster, but the price is too big to pay. Steroids can cause difficulties; damage to the liver, damage to the testicles and sexual development. It can cause heart problems and vascular problems down the road. It can also cause rage. All of these things are things that can affect teenagers. It’s clearly not worth the price.

Side Effects of Steroid Creams

There are many anti-itch creams on the market, but what you have to realize is certain anti-itch creams work for certain situations.  If you're someone who needs a steroid medication to get an itch taken care of, that's okay, but you don't want to be using that for a prolonged period of time.  For instance, if someone takes a steroid for a prolonged period of time, they actually are going to have a thinning out of the skin.  It actually can cause what we call striae, or red spots which go across the skin, which can cause a problem that never goes away.
