Hi! I was on Minocycline for 2 years with no relief. A new dermatologist started me on Aldactone about 2 weeks ago. I had been tracking my breakouts and they seem to come 1 week before my menstrual cycle every month. Since then my face has broken out EVERYWHERE! It is so bad, I do not even want to go out in public. Will this mediicne make your breakouts worse before it gets better? Anyone with similar issues?

Thank you so much!

I just started this medicine myself. From my research an IB is totally normal! All of the gunk is being expelled out, it's a good thing. Are you breaking out in the places you usually do? Keep in mind, an IB can last up to a month, so hang in there. Give it AT LEAST 3 months before you give up. In the grand scheme of things, an IB is definitely worth clear skin.
