Answer 1

Steroidswere developed as medical treatments and they come in two varieties. Anabolic steroids are the kind you hear about the most. They behave like male sex hormones, and doctors prescribe them for treating problems like late puberty as well as significant muscle loss in patients with cancer and AIDS. But they're often used illicitly by athletes who are addicted to winning.

Corticosteroids are less controversial. They don't build muscle. They treat things like allergic reactions and autoimmune diseases. Cortisone is one common example, which doctors use to treat the pain and swelling that comes with skin conditions like bad insect bites and poisonoak. Prednisone is another corticosteroid, which treats autoimmune diseases including lupus and arthritis.
