I'm not quite sure what you are asking. If you can expand your question, maybe someone here can help you more.

Hi Yumi, I see you've been asking this question on many of the healingwell forums. I'll give you the same answer as you got there, dexamethasone is a steroid and steroids cause extra hair growth. Steroids cause hormonal changes and acne and extra hair are often a consequence. They should go away a few months after discontinuing the steroid. If not, see your doctor.

I was on prednisone for two years following my dx of ulcerative colitis. I got increased facial hair from it. Unfortunately it has never gone away. It's not super sever and I'm diligent about keeping it all plucked out. Maybe others have better success with it going away but then I was was on it for a very long time. Terrible GI doc, but didn't know a thing at the time about treatment so I was clueless. Sad part is it never helped my symptoms one bit and I never achieved remission. :(
