Taking Methylprednisolone For Back Problem, Have Sore Growth On Anal Area. Could This Be A Side Effect?
I have been taking Methlprednisolone 4 MG, for a back problem, but I am finished with them as of 2 days ago. I now have a sore growth on my anal area. Could this be a side effect from that medication? If so, how can I treat this? Thank you in advance for any advise you may have. Robin

Dear Mr Robin
chronic intake of steroid is likely to cause immunosuppressive pathology.
Fungal and viral infection are very common.
Would suggest you to consult a surgeon to rule out possibility of viral warts.
Alternatively send us the clinical photograph
I hope it helped
In case you require any further assistance,will be glad to assist you.
Take care
