Hello

I had had acne pretty much as long as I can remember. Starting around 11 yrs old, little bumps on my forehead, to T zone cystic and white heads black head in middle school and full blown full face acne my high school. We tried it all, birth control, anti biotics, topical,orals, two rounds of accurate. EVERYTHING. the accurate worked for a good year around 17/18. But by 20 it was back and bad again! My mother had frequently asked the derm to refer me to an endocrinologist but she refused bc I didn't have the other hormonal symptoms. (ie obesity, hair growth etc). Finally we just went on our own and sure enough I had (mild) polycystic ovary syndrome. The endocronologist put me on spironolactone for one year and my skin was AMAZING. And stayed pretty close to amazing for many many years. I had the 'normal person' zit here and there but otherwise great. At 28(yes 8 years of good skin) I had my first child and after pregnancy and breast feeding for 2 years my skin is a bit broken out, again I'm thinking due to hormones. Somillmgive it a couple months and see if it calms down. Still nothing like the past.

Point being please please don't give up and try the endocronologist if all else has failed. It may not work for you but worth a shot. EVEN If you don't have the 'typical symptoms' because neither did I and it worked for me.
