Spironolactone Causing Random Scarring?

I have been on spironolactone for almost a year, 100 mg daily. The past few months I have noticed scars appearing on my face out of nowhere, where there was no previous acne or anything. I have only ever gotten acne on my chin anyway. I have a circular scar near my temple, forehead, and cheek. I googled it and atrophia maculosa varioliform came up, no known cause. But I have read some people's comments on forums and some said overload omega 3 and not enough calcium and vitamin d. Although I have eaten a lot of omega 3 at one setting, I don't eat it often. I am wondering how spironolactone affects calcium, if it lowers it and if this could be the cause? Anyone else experienced this with spiro?

It's very unlikely that spiro has anything to do with your random scarring. It doesn't affect calcium.

If your vitamin D is low, that's bad, the body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium properly.
