Q: Can Body Building Supplements (Anabolic Drugs) Cause Red Bum

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 21st, 2006

I have these red bumps on my chest and back area only and they dont itch they kind of sting. The skin around the bumps feels warm to hot. Can you tell what this is. Had this for about a week to a week and half. I have been taking this bodybuilding product for about four weeks but no longer take it for the fear this may be the cause of it. The supplement is called superdrol anabolic methasteron.

It is hard to diagnose red bumps on the skin of the chest and back. These bumps could be inflammation of the furuncles in the root of the hair fiber. Anabolic drugs can be responsible for the appearance of such bumps but anabolic drugs can also cause other more dangerous damage to overall health. You can reconsider the importance of such body building supplements to your health, and visit a general practitioner for a physical examination and reference to a specialist, if needed.
