Hello everyone! It's been months since I was on this board but I just wanted to provide an update and offer some hope to those still suffering from atrophy or acne. Last summer, I had atrophy in 4 are...

  I wanted to just give an update since it will be ONE YEAR next month since this occurred. I haven't been on the site in a long time because I noticed it was giving me more anxiety about my i...

I wanted to just give an update since it will be ONE YEAR next month since this occurred. I haven't been on the site in a long time because I noticed it was giving me more anxiety about my issue. Any...

So I'm on my placebo week of my birth control. And I'm thinking about not refilling it for next week and just go for it. And pray that the sprionolactone will help.

I don't have as many side effects on BCP either, besides the imbalances it caused me and I think I def. have mood swings... I just don't feel comfortable taking it all my life. I don't want to struggl...

I don't have any side effects with BC. I don't think I ever have actually! The spironolactone does have side effects for some people. When I first started taking it, like the first few weeks, I felt ...

Yes, I am on both. I've been on the pill forever. Which is why I want to get off. But....sprionolactone supposedly works better in combination with the pill. Who knows though. But I want to get off of...

Here it goes! I'm scared! Eek!   Cerave Cleanser $12....lasts about 3 months Cerave Moisturizer $12....lasts about 6 months AzaClear $75....I think lasts about 3 months Epionce eye cream $60....

Ugh really? What a bummer! When I was taking supplements (vit d, e, c, a and zinc) I would break out! So I stopped! Just my multivitamin now. Maybe just get off the supplements until you have blood wo...

I totally agree!! It would be very difficult to have a "normal" life while doing a crazy acne diet. You have to have a life. Oh my gosh! So funny you said that about your friend who's a doctor! I kno...

So I had my 6th saline injection today. I was really debating on canceling it since I bruised last time. And of course......I freaking bruised again!!! And I took arnica starting on Friday! So it piss...

I don't know about a specific strategy. But I will definitely make sure to cut back, or completely, on sugar/sweets. I may also cut out dairy as well. And fast food! None of that! I would be ok with ...

The $199-$300 is for the entire face, depending on where you go. I only did my entire face once. The other 2 times I just did my chin, where all my issues are, and that was only $50. IPL requires se...

Your a beautiful blonde! So gorgeous and your hair is so full of body!!   Well we will probably be weaning around the same time! I'm thinking to start either in march, April, or may.   We...

Your welcome! No, I didn't take any pictures of the process because I could barely look at myself. One of my scars was caused by a kenalog injection. It gave me a lot of stress and caused a time of d...

Good luck girls!! I decided to wean off around april/may. Doing it right now would be the dumbest thing everrrr. I'm very stressed right now due to my stupid university. That will show on my skin and...

glad you posted this topic. i have the exact same thing, mine is more pronounced on my right side than left. the red spots/blotches are all flat and don't hurt, but just sit there. they extend around ...

JennaBean - I do think the Spiro will help, and it's great you've already put in the time so that it's working. Any crazy androgen activity that happens off the pill SHOULD be blocked by the Spiro. I'...

A couple IPL treatments or YAG laser would probably do the trick for the redness

Most people will cut off 1/4 of the pill for 2-3 months, then 1/2, then 3/4. So the entire process can take 6+ months but there are a lot of success stories from doing it that way! Hi apple blossom...

Hey everyone! Thanks for your replys! All very helpful!   I am on ortho tri cyclen Lo. I thought about switching to the regular one, but since my skin has been doing well, I decided not to. And ...

Hi everyone! I've been on Spironolactone 100mg for about 6 months now and have seen GREAT IMPROVEMENT! I am also on Ortho Tri Cyclen. However, I am really wanting to get off of the birth control pill....

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I bet you there is a cure or they're close to a cure but corporations suppress it reaching market because billions would be lost in the business of...

Try saline injections!! They are cheap and proven to help acne scars by 20-80%. It's worth a shot

He's completely unhelpful. He simply said "I suppose it's possible (to become resistant)". I tried increasing my dose and it did not help.   Ugh what the hell! I'm so sorry. It still baffles...
