The corticosteroids used in medicinal applications (e.g. skin cream, for eczema) are different than anabolic steroids used in bodybuilding.

(A 'steroid' is just a type of molecule; other examples of steroids are Vitamin D and estrogen.)

Also testosterone is used in anti ageing procedures ( http://fusion.net/story/42619/why-testosterone-is-the-drug-o... )

I actually interpreted it as the parent comment. For instance if you have a really bad poison oak they prescribe prednisone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prednisone )
