A Possible Way To Control Oily Skin?

I'm a regular poster on hair loss forums, and another poster on one of them recently made the startling claim that spironolactone (I'll call it "spiro" from now on) at reasonable doses almost COMPLETELY reduced the amount of sebum that his body produces!! Here's one of the things he said to me (I corrected a misspelling he made): "Dude, there was TONS of sebum all over my forehead before I took spiro. I started taking 100mg of spiro orally. Within just a few days there was almost NO sebum. It isn't a 'close call', its a TOTAL night and day difference..." Spiro is a prescription drug, so most of you will need a doctor's prescription, unless you know a way to get it from overseas sources. Spiro definitely has antiandrogenic properties, so it's not completely out of the question that it could possibly reduce sebum production; but what really surprised me is the claim that such a relatively small amount of it (100 mg per day) could have such an effect. Do I believe what that guy told me? I'm not sure, but I promised him I'd tell the rest of you about it here on acne.org. Use CAUTION when experimenting with this drug!!
