Another small update: I'm still losing weight from spiro I think. I now have a gap between my thighs when I stand with my legs together. Other than that I look pretty much the same. I've recently be...

Man, time is just flying by on this medication. I can't believe I'm already almost three months into my treatment. I feel like I've recently stopped (noticeably) improving, but my skin is still defini...

The left side of my jawline is suffering big time lol. Like I said before, my breakouts are generally staying small and going away fast but I've had four along my jawline this week and it looks pretty...

Update: I've been getting a lot of cysts this week, but I'm actually not mad about it. Maybe it's because I'm using that exfoliating mask, or maybe because I started taking my meds 12 hours apart, bu...

Hello I'm back with an update. This update isn't about my skin though. Like I said before, I want to track my full experience on spironolactone, and sometimes side effects happen and I want to share ...

Mini-update:  I'm back to say that this stuff is an absolute life saver. Like I said in my last update, the redness and inflammation from my most recent breakouts have been really getting ...

Okay I've decided to stick with the spironolactone. I apologize for my posts being so up and down and emotional throughout this entire thread. After struggling with severe cystic acne for so long I ju...

I feel really embarrassed coming back here right now to update. I know I said I wouldn't until the 27th or something but I don't think I'll be continuing this thread. I really don't think spironolact...

Hello, old thread of mine. I'm back. Sorry this is long, but I'm so emotional over how far I have come. Hopefully I will never have to make another post like the one I did last year ever again. I'...

I've decided I'm going to update maybe every two weeks or so, rather than every time I notice a change in my skin. This'll be my last update until maybe the 27th? Anyways, besides one cyst on my shou...

Update: Unfortunately, I woke up today to two small cysts. One on my chin and one on my left jaw. I think the one on my jaw is from a really old cyst that's surfacing though. It's small but it's on t...

Update:  adding this to my skincare routine today to maybe help with the redness and irritation. 

I think I've been going a little overboard with the glycolic acid toner and it's making me break out a little bit. Nothing huge, but just little bumps so I'm going to stop exfoliating for a few days a...

Sorry I'm posting so much today but I'm so excited!! I took the before picture on Sunday, and the second picture today and is it just me or is the redness really fading that quickly?? I currently have...

Wow I'm already back with an unfortunate update. I found a cyst forming on the left side of my jawline. It's small but knowing how cystic acne works, it could get bad very quickly. I iced it so hope...

I want to be very in depth about my experience on spiro. Before starting spiro I read a ton of reviews and stuff but I feel like a lot of people have very short reviews of their experience on spiro. I...

Update: I went to my dermatologist today and he was really impressed by my progress. He didn't seem concerned at all by my current breakout situation, which seems to be going down anyway. He said I'll...

Well this sucks. I only posted this earlier today and I'm already back here to say I have a huge cyst on my chin. I'm actually devastated?? I have a dermatology appointment tomorrow morning and I was...

Hello everyone!  I've decided to start tracking my progress with spironolactone. I've been on it for around two months now and it's already worked wonders for me. I've struggled with very ...
