Okay I think this is going to be my last and final update. It’s been a long time since I last posted here but I just wanted to post at least one more photo. I just still cannot belie...

Hey everyone!  I'm back. I don't know if I'll be coming here anymore, because I've been clear for what feels like a very long time now. My skin has been healing so well on its own. I wasn'...

This spot actually hasn't gotten any worse since it showed up really, but it's just so ugly. It's definitely going away now. I've decided to start derma rolling sometime soon. I'm not waiting a year f...

Sad update: I'm so mad. This fucking breakout is awful. It's surfacing, I've been using my exfoliating mask to try to get it to go away faster. It's so ugly. I've ran out of things to try. I've spent ...

Mini update: I don't know why I didn't mention it earlier but I have a terrible case of strep. I realized my body is probably trying so hard to get well again, its main concern most definitely isn't ...

I actually have a bit of an update today. So unfortunately, like I said before, the clear patch I went through didn't last. It's not so bad though. I currently have one bad spot on my cheek. It's not ...

Another five days of being clear. I could cry, I'm so happy. I never thought I'd get this clear ever again in my entire life.

... still nothing. Wow. After months of consistently breaking out I've hit a clear patch. Still doubt it'll stay but I'm enjoying it while I can.

Today is my four month mark on spironolactone!! I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but since I started using my new cerave moisturizer, I haven't had any new breakouts. I have spots that are he...

Little update: I've been terribly sick lately, and it's been hard to get in enough fluids, which of course has led to my skin becoming dryer. Surprisingly it's not breakout out like crazy whenever I ...

Hello, I'm back for a small update.  Since my last post, I've only had one cyst. It's already going away so no worries. I feel like the breakouts are kind of slowing down, but I'm still p...

Quick update: My forehead, my shoulders, my chest, and my cheeks, are still clear of active breakouts. I still haven't had any breakouts on the upper, or even the middle of my face, but unfortunatel...

I just realized I haven't really had any breakouts above my nose for nearly a month now? My cystic breakouts have been occurring along my jawline and my chin. Unfortunately they're still getting prett...

I haven't had any new breakouts in the past four days. I don't think it's clear from here for good, but I'm doing alright. I'm back to update though because I've noticed another side effect. It's not...

I'm having a bad skin day. It's not that I have a ton of new breakouts, but I just feel awful about the state of my skin. I know it's getting better, slowly, but it is healing. The redness left behind...

Sorry if I'm posting too much, but I just have a lot of thoughts that might be helpful to anyone reading this. Just to give my full experience on spiro, whether it ends a complete success or not. I t...
