default
Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2014
Question: I am Crohn's disease patient, I have been on Budesonide for a year now. I have realized that every time I have a wound, it doesn't heal completely and it leaves a brownish scar. I wanted to know if it's from my crohns or from Budesomide. Also, I have been having a new body odor stink after sweating especially in my underwear area. Again, is it from the medication. Regards,

Brief Answer: Budesonide side effects. Detailed Answer: Hello! Than you for the query. Both symptoms you get from Budesonide usage. Due to steroids intake for a long time you may have Cushings syndrome. Its a group of symptoms caused by adrenal glands stimulation to produce cortisol. A part of this syndrome are brownish scars, skin changes. You may also have hypertension, diabetes, obesity, weakness and many more. Strange body odor can be a symptoms of diabetes as well. I suggest you to have it checked as well as liver and blood pressure. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
