Suggest Treatment For Migraine While On Decadron

I was on a three day IV course of medications for migraine. One of the medications was Decadron. Since the day after I returned home, I have had areas that look like bad acne on my chest, back, torso and scalp. Can this be a side effect of the high dose steroids that I was given?
