Spiro was wonderful for my active acne but it obviously can't force clogs out of your pores or even prevent blackheads. For existing clogged pores I do some pretty aggressive at-home exfoliation and ...

Anorexia (and severe stress) greatly alters your hormonal balance, sometimes permanently. There have been studies on how messed up a woman's hormones can get after anorexia. It is especially bad later...

HI greengables,   I've been MIA from the boards recently too....I appreciate your update, and the fact that you put your overall health first instead of just the acne. Have you looked into SOD ...

At some point (it was probably a long time ago, my activity dropped off) posts changed from nicely formatted to having a LOT of space in between line and paragraphs. For example, my old looks normal...

First off, why is the formatting so terrible on posts now? Everything is double spaced out and really hard to read. So I know that my posts on spironolactone and hormonal acne have been read and r...

Your results from the first treatment may have largely been superficial. Your thinking may actually be backward, the deeper treatments peel less than less aggressive treatments. Scars always look a l...

From what I understand, the copper IUD makes periods heavier because of the effect in the uterus. It can't be replicated by a copper supplement. I found that it made everything heavier for about a ye...

The short answer is the the options for hormonal acne are limited and require some trial and error. And LOTS of patience. It took 8 months for my current treatment (spironolactone) to kick in. That's ...

Could someone explain what hyperpigmentation is? I dont pick my pimples but still have marks left over due to it. I think i have a good immune system idk. HYPERpigmentation is an area of skin that i...

I think it's rosacea but I guess it always hard to say from pictures. If it is rosacea, you are not "SOL" as the above poster said. It is true that there is no cure for rosacea but the same is true f...

I have a handful of scars and they are all from ones that I did NOT peel or pick. When I began my "acne journey" I was very careful to follow all of the traditional advice. Now perhaps it's just a co...

  I believe that beta sitosterol / saw palmetto is regarded as the strongest OTC DHT blocker. Any stronger and you need prescription Finasteride or spironolactone. Zinc can modulate DHT. ...

My digestive issues were cleared up by a combination of Betaine HCL with Pepsin and Daily Essential Enzymes at every meal for 6 months straight.

Wow, haven't been on here a while. I have really bad pores (especially on my nose) and I'm wondering if there have been any developments in it's treatment in terms of topicals, or minor operations. I...

Looks like seborrheic dermatitis or some form of eczema to me. It could be rosacea, but a lot of white people are at your level of redness simply because the skin is translucent and you can see the na...

I have had a cyst on the side of my chin since August and it refuses to go away! I am female, 44 years old and have had oily, acne prone skin for as long as I can remember. I had trouble with cysts ...
