Cali04

Quick update, I have def seen improvement on the small spots by using Atralin. I make sure I just use a very small amount so my face does not get dry, which it doesn't. I have been on a Spiro for al...

I was getting a rash around my eye that came then went away then spread on my face. It was a big low point for me, and I could not look anyone in the eye. My mom kept telling me to try a different fa...

I have been on Spiro since last May. I have not gotten an inflamed pimple since January (which was just one). I have been getting random small spots that are not inflamed and do not leave a mark, bu...

I have no advice to offer in your case, but really empathize with your situation. I hope you find the combination that works for you. I am hoping that 150 mg of spiro (week 3) and nothing else but AC...

Day 231   So I am in my 8th month. All was going well until this month. I am getting random new pimples everyday. They are small though. Why is this happening??? I am starting to get very f...

  About the 6th month mark, I noticed strands of hair falling out easily. It's not clumps. But when I put my hand through my hair one or two pieces fall out. And I notice more in the shower. Th...

So I am reaching the 7th month mark on Spiro. All is going well. I am clear except I do get new spots now and then. This past week, I have noticed hair strands falling out very easily and I am startin...

Day 135 So I am very sorry for not updating in such a long time. Truth is, I have been very depressed about my face, and I couldn't bear to put it into words. Right after my last post, things seemed t...

Day 91 I finished three months! Crazy! Went by so fast. I have not updated in awhile. The last day I updated was on July 13th (as you see above). I got a huge pimple on the side of my face that ...

Quick update today. I am in day 69, and things this week have not been too great. I got a new pimple almost everyday this week. Most of them were smaller and went away quickly, but still really ann...

Hi, I was also on Yasmin, and I have been off it for six months now. My acne started to creep back once I'd been taking Yasmin for a year. I took Roaccutane when I was 17, and it cleared my skin wonde...

Moonlight, I bought Dan's AHA, along with the treatment. But they are just sitting in my cabinet. I was so excited to try them, but scared at the same time. Nervous on how my face will react. So m...

Mine didn't really seem to care either. She seemed like she didn't know what I was talking about. My face did break out for the first four weeks or so. It def seemed to calm down by the 5th week. ...

This happened to me when I was using a tretinoin. So I scheduled another appointment with my derm to get her opinion. She didn't really have any answers. So I told her I wanted to try Spiro. Once ...

Cali04 - I have not tried spironolactone. Or if I have, it was when I was in high school or college. Has it been around that long? It sounds familiar. Are you noticing any relief with it? I have been...

Kimmers, I am just as frustrated. I think about it constantly. Have you asked your doctor about Spironolactone? I am currently trying it now.

Thank you so much Green Gables and Moonlight for the advice. I think am going to try Dan's AHA to help with marks from old acne. It contains glycolic so maybe it will help. I want to use it at night...

Thank you for the advice, Green Gables. Just curious, why take the second dose before 3pm? Because your androgens are higher earlier in the day. You need the spiro to kick in then when it will actu...

Thank you Michi and MissSac for sharing your experiences. I love to read different opinions because it really helps the process. I am currently using Atralin as well. Day 43 Well, the past week has ...
