Hi everyone,

Im a 24 y/o female in the UK, I have had sometimes mild, sometimes moderate acne since I was about 16. For the last 2 years I have been trying to treat it. My Doctor has had me try various topical lotions and anti-biotics - some of which has helped up to a point but not really. Im very disillusioned with the treatment I have been receiving, it has been 2 years with no mention of hormonal treatments. I have only really discovered this option from forums like this one.

Anyway, Ive ordered 3 months supply of Diane 35 and 100 x 100mg of spironolactone from a website as I think these could be the solution.

My acne is concentrated around my chin, cheeks and jawline (sometimes neck). Am i right in saying that this is a sign of acne being hormonal??

I know an IB is likely with Diane 35, is it likely the spironolactone will create one aswell??

My quesion is really just is it ok to begin take these at the same time?? I plan to start with 25mg spironolactone a day then gradually increase to 100mg. But I wonder if it might be better to take this alone and see how it works for a few months before taking diane 35 aswell.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I feel so fed up with my acne these days (

Thanks.

I belive you are right..your acne sounds hormonal. I'm sorry but I haven't been on Diane or Sprio but I know others here on the adult forum have..hopefully some of them will answer you.
