I have autoimmune Addison's disease, and take steroids everyday. It is a very small physiological dose that only replaces what my body doesn't make on its own, but none of the neurologists I have seen mentioned it affecting the skin biopsy at all.

The most steroids could do is lessen inflammation in the body, but if your nerves are damaged and dying off, it'll show up regardless I would think, as mine did.
