Samara,

Facial hair and other pred side effects can take up to a year to resolve themselves. If you are worried about it, have your doc run an AM cortisol test to see if you still have Cushing's (which is a REVERABLE problem that steroids cause), which is probably the cause of your hair/oil situation. If your problem is Cushing's, the cortisol level will be high. You should then see an endochronologist to discuss your worries and see what he/she thinks.

In the meantime, just relax...and try not to shave it, or pluck them, so the hairs don't grow back darker then before...just trim with a scissor (it's what I do :) ) and the hair stay peach-fuzzy light :) As for the skin, I use a great moisturizing cream from Bath and Body works called Pure Simplicity Soy cream. It is light and for sensitive skin.

GOOD LUCK!

Ivy
