Hey Guys
So I was put on 100mg of Aldactone about 8 weeks ago and my skin has only gotten worse. Right away, it made my skin oilier. It has been two months and I am breaking out worse than before I started Aldactone. I am confused bc I have a hormone imbalance so i don't understand how this could be making my skin worse. Has anybody experienced anything similar? I'm trying to decide if I should stay on it and hope that it starts working or stop it now since it doesnt seem to work for me. Thanks for your advice!

its too early to tell whether or not its working for you . i didnt see results with spiro untill about month 4. stick with it, and see if your oil begins to decrease. but you need to be patient, and give it some time. if you dont see results after month 4, consider adding a birth control to better your results. hope this helps.

Hmm I feel like it shouldn't be making it consistently worse. I mean you should still have your ups and downs, but if it's really that much worse you could be sensitive to it. Call your derm and explain and see if he wants to meet you or has other ideas.

How do you know you have a hormone imbalance? Were your androgens high or was it some other hormone, because it matters.
