"Moon face" is caused by which condition?

It mentioned steroid treatment in the explanation, which my son was on for awhile when he was young. His face and whole head became huge. Then he shaved his head and it looked like a white bowling ball!

Poor people

yep had or still have a lot of those side effects, steroids are very hard to wean off, the physical addiction & side effects from them are truly awful..

Paley, aka the guy who turned a small radio network into the media giant we know as CBS.
