it's weird cause spiro made my period LONGER! it used to be like, 4 days from going on BC and now it's a week, sometimes more!

Well the derm says i dont have that, but have keratosis pilaris... which frankly, doesnt make sense. I've never had dry skin, until recently taking spiro for my hormones, i had the oiliest skin known ...

I believe i have pityrosporum folliculitis. Going to the derm tomorrow, hopefully he'll have an answer. Also, I do have mild acne.

bump, anyone??

well looks like i cant use ketocanozole. I tried the Nizoral shampoo on my body and the next morning i woke up with an allergic reaction all down my arms!!!   Is there anything else i can use???...

So i bought Nizoral and was hoping for it to work.   Well, i used it i think like 1 or 2 nights oon my chest, and last night i decided to use it on my head too. I kept it on for a couple of minut...

Well, i picked up the Nizoral today! Gonna use it whenever i take a shower (ever 2nd night) so we'll see how it goes! I have a sneaking suspicion this is what i'm dealing with too since it sounds like...

i think i have a mild case of this on my body. im gonna try to find that keoconazole shampoo for my body. it can't make it worse, right?

This is really interesting.   I've always, until recently starting spiro, had oily skin and always had these bumps. I would also always exfoliate and i did some glycolic peels, but they never wen...

do you think ancetiaphamin (sp) would work, too? its found in Midol and other PMS medications, like "pamprin", but it doesnt have ibuprofrin (like advil)

thats like in any advil, right? i thought i was supposed to avoid those because i am on spiro.

Aleve isnt sold in Canada without a prescription because of the whole danger with liver and heart problems i think it was.   Anyone know if there is anything else i can take? I have Midol at hom...

Anyone? How long does it take on BHA 2% gel to notice a difference would you say?

bump

What can be done?!?   I'm currently using a 2% BHA on my forehead and nose. It'll be almost two weeks soon that ive been using it.   How long did it take for you to see results?   &nb...

So ive been reading mixed things about this. Obviously it can cause PCOS, but aside from this, what are the other health risks for women with excess production of testosterone, or rather, the DHT/DHEA...
