2 Years Later   I randomly decided to log on here again to read some of my old posts, and I thought it would be good to do another update. I figured it might help anyone who is taking spironola...

Day 75 Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I was in Florida for my sister's wedding, I moved apartments, and I just got back from Virginia to visit my boyfriend's grandma. And I start my senior year...

Day 46 My face is continuing to clear up. I am so happy I don't have any more painful cysts forming, and the whiteheads are drying up! I have pretty bad hyperpigmentation, but I don't even care at t...

Day 39 Something is definitely helping my acne. The only thing is that I don't know what exactly. Maybe it's a combination of everything. I think the spironolactone is starting to balance my hormones...

I have been taking spiro for a little over a month, and I haven't noticed any weight change. I already live a healthy lifestyle and workout on a regular basis. I am 5'5" and weigh 115 pounds. I take 7...

You should only wash your face twice a day. Any more than that can cause your skin to dry out and produce more oil which means more acne. I wash my face twice a day and throughout the day if I get rea...

Whatever you do don't pop them. That will just spread the infection and cause it to last longer and possibly spread. I wish I had taken my own advice because my acne is currently spread all around my ...

Day 33 I went to the dermatologist today for a check up, and he recommended that I add a topical treatment since I had to stop using the metrogel. Apparently you aren't supposed to use metrogel for a...

I think there is a correlation because my sister used to work at a pizza place, and her face was always really broken out. A while after she quit her acne didn't completely go away but it definitely i...

I would try to bring it to a head with a warm compress and then gently extract the pus. Then dry it up with some spot treatment. I find that a dry patch is easier to cover than a huge lump on my skin

Day 26 Still no improvement . My face is pretty much the same as it was on day 21. I have had to meet a bunch of new people because my sister's wedding is soon, and I am so embarrassed about my skin....

Thanks everyone your kind words mean a lot to me Right now I am currently using Spironolactone, and metrogel

I have been having a really bad day I thought my acne was starting to clear up, but all of a sudden I have about 5 new cysts forming on my chin and a huge cyst under my nose. The redness has been hor...

Day 21 I have been having a really bad day. I thought my acne was starting to clear up, but all of a sudden I have about 5 new cysts forming on my chin and a huge cyst under my nose. The redness h...

Here is a picture of what my face looks like Day 19

Spironolactone Day 2 My skin story: All throughout high school I never really had any acne. I would have the occasional pimple but nothing horrible. But now that I’m 21 my skin has...

I have only been taking it for about 2 and a half weeks. I haven't seen any improvement yet. How long did it take for you?

I just started two new acne medications about two weeks ago. One is a topical antibacterial gel called Metrogel, and the other is Spironolactone which helps with hormonal acne by blocking excess testo...
