Are steroid injections on the nose linked to fungal acne ?

Asked By:a_k_123 in Scotland, United Kingdom

Ive never had acne as an adult and im 30 but i recently had a breakout which I suspect is fungal acne as its very itchy on my cheeks, over the counter treatment helps but it doesn’t eliminate it. I’m trying to figure out the cause at the time I broke out my hormones where fine I had tests, no change in diet or lifestyle. The only thing I had that was different was a steroid injection in my nose due to post surgery swelling. Could there be a correlation?
