Very few (if any) doctors will prescribe spironolactone for men because of its potent anti-androgen effects.

Spironolactone is a generally well-tolerated medication by women. In men, dose-related side effects, such as decreased libido, impotence, and gynecomastia, have limited its use in this population.

Thanks! 🙂

Anyone got any recommendations on a oral acne treatment?

For moderate acne in males, there are two options in terms of oral treatments:

1. Oral antibiotics (such as minocycline or oxytetracycline) which work best in combination with a topical retinoid (e.g. Differin or Retin-A)
2. Accutane

Have you seen a Dermatologist?

No. But I want to come prepared and come with a recommendation. 🙂
