Prednisone and change in hair texture

My hair doesn't seem to be affected but my skin looks really bad with deep wrinkles on my face and dark circles. I had wrinkles before prednisone but not the dark circles. The wrinkles look so much worse now. Could this be because of prednisone?

Prednisone absolutely affects the skin. Among other things, it causes thinning that leads to fragile skin that tears and bruises easily. I’m not sure about dark circles and more wrinkles.
One way to improve the wound healing is to take 500 to 1,000 mg of vitamin C every day. It might help with wrinkles, too.
