If the acne like rash appear due to drugs , known as acneiform eruptions. Corticosteroids, orally, topically and intranasally, and by injection, may provoke an acneiform eruptions. Although the precise mechanism is uncertain. Corticosteroids do not affect the number of surface bacteria, but do induce cornification(increase skin cells) in the upper part of the pilosebaceous duct.
Androgens including anabolic steroids and gonadotrophins, may precipitate acne, especially in females and in athletes who take illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
Some time other drugs like bromides, iodides, phenobarbitone, isoniazid and rifampicin can also cause acneiform eruptions.
