Can anyone suggest a derm who's open to prescribing spiro in boston/ massachusetts for adult acne sufferer, I've been on Yasmin 3 months and noticed improvement, but addition of spiro would definitely help.

thanks!

Hi,
Yes, try Dr. Eileen Deignan (offices in Cambridge and Concord). She prescribed it for me after running some basic blood tests, but unfortunately for me I was allergic to Spiro.

Hope that helps!

Tani:
Would you please share what allergic reaction you had to spiro? Thank you.
I've used Verdeso on my jawline and above and below my eyelids to get rid of the rash I developed from part of the regimen I'm currently using(spiro 100mg.a.m., Solodyn 45 mg.p., etc.)....I posted before.....very long. My face is still itchy and extremely sensitive to even a piece of hair touching it.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. It was very severe and from what I was told from a few doctors, very rare.

Ten days after I started taking Spiro, I got these red welts all over my arms but they didn't itch. I stopped taking Spiro at that point. The next day I woke up I had trouble breathing and looked in the mirror to see that they were everywhere and my lips were distorted and swollen. Plus they were incredibly itchy. I had to go to the ER and got an IV full of benadryl and steroids.

If you haven't already, talk to your doctor. When in doubt it's safer to have it checked out - it seems like it can come on quickly.
