Not sure I agree. I am 72 none of that skin. My wife has been on steroids the last four years and looks like a Georgia peach. True not everyone ages the same but I would say a lot more to do with prednisone enhancing the aging process.

Strange, but probably true!! My husband tells me my skin on the rest of me is still as soft as it always has been!!😂. And it really is soft!!! But my arms are a different story….rough, crepy and occasionally with purple bruises if I’m clumsy and bump against something with my arm!!
Hope you wife is doing better- my thoughts are with you and the wonderful care you give her. ❤️🙏

Not about aging, Prednisone thins the skin. https://nmc-magazine.com/understanding-and-managing-thin-skin-caused-by-steroid-use/
