I'm sorry but healthy eating and detoxing won't solve your problem, it can actually create problems like stomach issues. Natural supplements and herbs are not regulated and can be actually contaminate...

It's not the pillow case, it's not your gut health, it's not your diet. I used to think diet played a huge role, especially dairy, and now don't believe that. I've gone back to eating dairy and I don'...

If your dermatologist doesn't offer Spiro, ask for it. I don't know how it is in your country, but when I lived in Europe, doctors were reluctant to prescribe Spiro for acne. In the US, everyone presc...

My triggers are dairy, iodine (salt, seaweed...), peanuts, and vitamin B12 supplements. Maybe look into that. I wouldn't give up on Spiro just yet, it can take up to a year to see results. I know that...

This pill messes with your hormones, so of course you're going to have a lot of ups and downs for a few months. Personally I don't know why you need to be on such a high dose, unless you have PCOS. I ...

Yes, it's cystic. I would go on Spiro and/or a BCP like Yaz, Ocella or Yasmin, those are the best for improving acne. I would recommend a gentle chemical peel, but not glycolic acid, it's too irritati...

Have you tried azelaic acid? The only reason I stopped using it is because of the side effects like mild itching and burning, which goes away with time. It works by reducing excess sebum production. I...

It's hard to tell from the photo if it's hormonal, but it looks really mild. Your skin looks a little oily. I would try gentle chemical peels like salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and lactic acid. Also ...

Azelaic acid or it's derivative: Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD), which works better with no side effects like itching and burning. I actually just added that to my skincare regimen because it reg...

I agree, I've tried several brands and each one gave different side effects. The first 2 tries, I gave up because the side effects were so bad, one of which was Aldactone. I thought brand name was the...

You have to give Spiro time to work. After a few minor bumps in the road like the purging at the beginning, I'm really happy I stuck with Spiro. I've been on it for ~8 months at a low dose of 50 mg an...

I've tried different retinoids and I always purge initially, whether switching to a new one or using the same one again. The only time I didn't was with differin because it took a really long time for...

Yes, purging is normal. It probably should have happened sooner, but you skipped a week so who knows if that had something to do with it. Stick with it and it should get better, but for some people it...

I agree with Tracy, hormonal acne is cystic in nature and more prone to scarring. I actually heard about Spiro years ago from a derm, he said that I would "pee like a horse" (not true, at least not fo...

Yes, it's normal and expected. I've experienced purging in the first month, but it does get better. I've been on Spiro for 11 weeks now and I'm so happy to say that it works! And a small dose like 50 ...

I personally think that Tazorac is the best retinoid for acne out there. Yes it will make you purge, but so will every other retinoid and Accutane. I know it's not fun but just try to be patient and y...
