My skin is definitely less oily now than when I first started taking Spiro and my jaw cysts have healed even if I'm not clear on the rest of my face. My hair shedding is just too distressing though a...

Hair shedding is still messing with my mind. One persistent cyst on my forehead and two breakouts on my chin. I shed lots of hair all the time and it drives me crazy.

Eh, over a month in. Lots of red marks on my face from a bad breakout when beginning this medicine. I have active cysts in my jaw and pimples on my forehead. I will stop hoping for an immediate improv...

Hey Tinamatnum, I'm sorry you're having such a tough time right now. I've been battling acne for years and know how depressing it can be. It's really hard, but it's important to keep busy and keep you...

Aaak! I'm getting spotting for the second time in a month and many more strands of hair have been falling out when I shower than before I started taking Spiro. This isn't just paranoia. While I have f...

Beginning of week three here and I'm feeling much better, mostly mentally, because I have reasons to feel optimistic now. I just lost it last week because I've been at home bored for a while now livin...

I took a two day break from Spiro and felt noticeably less fatigued.The monster breakout from last week seems to be healing. The spiro is doing something, since I've noticed my hair is less oily. Usua...

I have gone from a few cysts on my forehead to eight enflamed cysts all over my face. I used to get zits plus one rouge cyst. Now every single tiny bump develops into a cyst. I feel depressed, nauseou...

Day 14 here with Spiro and Aczone. My acne has gotten so much worse in the past two weeks and I'm really down. It has gone from a few stubborn spots to cysts all over my chin and whiteheads all over m...

Day 11. I had two days of spotting instead of a period and have been in a foul mood. Another cyst joined the party on my chin today. I've gone from a clear chin to five juicy cysts. The raging cyst ri...

Day 10. Still getting new cysts on my forehead and chin. I've felt really fatigued and lethargic the last two days.

Today is the sixth day I've been taking Spiro. The cysts in my jaw and one on my forehead seem to be calming down and I'm hopeful. I'm getting a lot of new whiteheads and have a few new cysts close to...

Thanks for the encouraging words! I'm glad that Spiro has worked so well for you. I'll do my best to be patient, haha.

Day three for me with Spiro. I was taking it before bed since it can cause drowsiness and I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone, but re-reading the Rx info and I found out that I should probably...

Sorry if this is long-winded. I guess writing this is cathartic for me. I've been struggling with moderate-severe acne for five years now. I've tried antibiotics and a slew of topical creams. Topical...

"Did you hit your head?" *awkward silence* "...or is it a blemish?" Nope, didn't hit my head, it's just my cystic forehead acne! Thanks for noticing! My friend innocently asked me this and didn't mean...

Like crying. I'm just so sick of this. My self-esteem isn't great in general and the acne just destroys me. I've been relatively clear for some months now, but now the acne is coming back with a venge...

I'm feeling pretty crummy about my own face, but in response to Paul, I understand how you're feeling. I sometimes feel like I use my skin or weight as an excuse for feeling unhappy. At the end of my ...
