spironolactone aldactone mirena androgens pcos
Days on Spironolactone: 10
Days without Picking: 1
Forehead:Clear
Right Cheek: 1 active
Left Cheek: 1 active
Right Side of Chin: 5 actives
Left Side of Chin: 5 actives
Back: 3 actives
Scarring: Along my chin, jawline and underneath my cheekbones.
Update:
My skin is slightly worse today. A lot of stuff came up on the right side of my chin. I don't think its really "new" it just came up to the surface. I got rid of 2 white heads in that area. One is now flat, so I know it was ready to go, but the other is a little swollen. I have a cyst on the left cheek that is bigger today and it hurts...
I don't really count getting rid of the whiteheads as picking... but I probably should leave them alone.... I think I can go the rest of the day without picking, so hopefully I wont have to update this later.
Blood work Results:
I got the rest of my blood work results back. Everything was normal except for my testosterone levels. They are at 71. Technically, 0-90 is considered normal, but above 70 is elevated. My concern is that if all of my androgen levels are "normal", will spironolactone help?
