I am not too sure if it is a side effect of spiro, because it appeared so late, maybe a stomach flu? I have a ridiculously sensitive stomach, and it does not give me any problems if I take it with rea...

I do not think it makes scars. I have been on it for 2 decades and only got one icepick scar , despite formerly cystic acne.

I do not find that surprising. I guess very likely they are fried in oil that can have inflammatory influence on acne ( like sunflower oil) and then they also have tons of sugar that influence your ho...

Noone can resist a kinder milk slice They are all over the place here in every grannys cupboard Good to hear nothing serious.

I told men that I like their acne scars. Because it was true. Well I think I am not a scar- fetish weirdo, but I have met quite a few males, where scars added that extra- masculine appearance and it ...

Well yes, your young age and this fact makes your chances quite good to grow out of it. For my part I discovered a change in my acne when I gew out of my teenager acne and into adult acne. Suddenly th...

We are not talking abou teenage acne. Of course you can grow out of this kind of acne. But if if your severe female acne continues into your 20s, chances are bad to grow completely out of it soon. Th...

I have/ had extremely oily skin too, this was fixed by the spiro. Well, I guess it is not easy to answer which one is "safer" for long term use. In fact, both are created to be taken for a very long ...

Best for me regarding covering abilities and stretchiness of make up ( so is does not appear all wrinkly and flaky) was Toleriane Teint Fluid from LRP. Take a very small amount, spread it over your fr...

Oh geez, that is terrible. I hope you get used to it soon, so you can get good sleep again.

If the cause for your acne is hormonal, then I would try to treat it hormonal. There are a lot of cases in which hormone-triggered acne came back after accutane, and people had to take many courses of...

Hey, hang on. I know it sucks soooo much when your skin is going crazy. Spiro is just so slow, and it is frustrating that on top of your normal acne, you get totally strange new pimples. But this is a...

Due to my age, no history of kidney probles, proper water intake and my generally good health, my doctors so far did not test me. They will, if I start to get side effects which I do not have. My cyc...

Maybe a sebacous gland hyperplasia? I have 2 of them on my nose and they are so stubborn. I will have them removed via laser some day.

I think those are not blackheads, but sebaceous filaments. You can kind of "bleach" and dry them out (with BP) or find some relief with salicylic acid . But you said your skin cannot handle both. I be...

BTW: as acne is hormone triggered, you cannot compare female acne to male acne when it comes to adult acne, I think it is obvious why. And this also applies to father/ daughter comparisons. It does no...

I was not talking about young women like the very early 20s. But the women that were passing their middle 20/ early 30s and still have acne, often did not get rid of it. My dad grew out of his acne in...

Yes, you will need a prescription. Most likely by your derm, not your OB Gyn.

You could try Spiro alone. It is similar to the Drospirenon used in Yaz, and works great for women that responded to Yaz. Without the side effects. I have a blood coagulation disorder (thrombophilia) ...

No, as far as I know this applies only to blue green algae. Which is kind of crazy because there's a lot of evidence that spirulina can be used to help a bit with those diseases, once you have them.

Well , trying to get pregnant, you habe to be careful with any vitamin supplements. This is a bit more complicated than " just" coming off BC. I know many women with acne that had beautiful skin duri...

I used the regimen when I came off Yaz twice, it worked OK . Actually I had been using BP once a day while I was taking Yaz, because it did not clear me completely. I had to up my dosage after stoppin...

Well, it seems rather unlikely to outgrow your acne, once you have passed a certain age. Especially as a female. I know many women with skin problems , and to be honest...the ones that still had acne ...

I have been using BP without a break for over 20 years. It never stopped working, but I had phases that needed more BP or less BP to keep my acne under control. Most of the time it was absolutely suff...
