Steroid allergies?

While I have not heard of this, AI says the following:
Yes, you can be allergic to steroids, even though these drugs are often used to treat allergic reactions. Allergic reactions to corticosteroids are rare but can be triggered by either the active steroid molecule or inactive ingredients like preservatives and fillers.Types of ReactionsImmediate reactions: Happen within one hour of taking an oral or injected steroid. Symptoms include hives, facial swelling, trouble breathing, and rarely, anaphylaxis.Non-immediate reactions: Appear hours or days later. The most common is allergic contact dermatitis from creams or ointments, causing a red, itchy rash where the product touched the skin.What to DoStop use of the product if a rash or breathing issue starts.Call a doctor or seek urgent medical care for severe symptoms like swelling or wheezing.Ask for testing or a different steroid class if an allergy is confirmed.

Possibly, there is a component which is in the steroid, (filler), which could cause the reaction. There are people who are allergic to Lidocaine (which is for either the heart or for local numbing). This is a real allergy as well - despite being needed for pain control or for the heart. Good luck.

Although not an allergy, I don’t take oral steroids due to a psychotic reaction. I experienced several types of hallucinations, including a sense of wellbeing that my mother was downstairs straightening up and cooking. My mother had died 20 years earlier. My Dr was afraid I had had a stroke and ran tests which determined that I had not. He said the psychosis was due to the oral steroids.
