If used properly, steroids can help the body heal from inflammation - they are very good for conditions such as Arthritis and Asthma, which are aggravated by swelling.
If used improperly, such as in an attempt to "bulk up," steroids can cause irreversible damage to the body, because in illegal use a proper dose is not used. Using too many steroids does damage the body.
