Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Hello wavey.gif

I'm feeling a little down about my acne. I literally tired everything topical. I even did the regimen, but my face is super sensitive and had to stop 4 months in. =[ I bought countess products and they all would seem to work for maybe a week or 2. I went on birth control Otho tri, generic of that brand, and 3 others. I had to stop taking them because they all triggered my migraines.

I just don't know what else to try? My acne seems to be getting worse too, I'm staring to get nodules and cysts. Mostly around my mouth/chin and occasionally between my eyebrows. Its embarrassing and it hurts like a mofo! :'(

I was considering spironolactone. Does anyone have experience with that pill? Side effects?

Thanks!

Cysts are usually hormonal or diet-related. Spiro is commonly used for a hormonal treatment, and though I don't have experience with it, I've heard mostly good things.

If you want to try the diet route, you could look into common offenders such as dairy, soy, citrus, and wheat - just eat strict paleo for a week, see what happens.
