I used spirolactone and it didn't work very well for me. Have you tried a birth control?

Sorry you have been going through this! I've been using Yasmin for about 1 year + 0.05 Retin A for about 6 months now and my skin is clear than never. Curiously, my skin only got 100% be...

Hi, Jennifer! I'm sorry you are facing some problems with oil production, but I think it's a natural process of your skin. How old are you? Younger than 25, I guess? So, I think it's pretty normal to ...

Here in my country you can find Retin-A on drugstores without the need of a prescription. I'm currently on my 4th month using this product and have to say my face is so much better now. I'm using the ...

I'm on the same boat! I have PCOS and my testosterone levels were so high, that my doctor told me I could be a teenager boy, lol. Have you ever used Retin-A? It's the best topical treatment for acne ...

Yaz is a great birth control! However, if your acne is not improving after 3-4 months, try to switch to Yasmin, since it has more estrogen (I don't think uping the dose of spiro will work in this case...

Acne is basically a hormonal problem, so until you don't solve this, your acne will not go away. I think the best thing you can do is to see a dermatologist and ask for a skin regimen that will actual...

Hi there! NuvaRing contains etonogestrel, which has high androgenic activity. If you already had problems with acne, I wouldn't suggest you to keep using the ring. You can try other birth control pil...

Well, triphasic pills usually make acne worse in women who already have this problem because your hormones fluctuate more. I would suggest you to try Ortho Cyclen or Yasmin, since the pills have the s...

No IUD, pill (not even hormonal shots?) and condoms? You won't have much options. Pull out method, maybe?

Hi, dear! I'm so sorry you're getting through that! 🙁 I really don't know why you're getting cysts on one side of your face, but I also tend to get more pimples on the left side. I have no idea why th...

Take a blood test to know how is your hormone levels. Maybe it's time to change your birth control. I myself have been taking Yaz for about 6-7 months now and my pimples got back recently too. My doct...

The best one is to choose a product that doesn't make you break out even more. If the sunscreen you're already using isn't giving you acne or irritation, I don't see a reason to change it. I like the ...

Well, if your acne got back after Roacutan, maybe your acne has hormonal causes. Did you take blood tests to know how is your hormone levels? Birth control pills usually make acne worse before it gets...

Did you get your homone levels checked? We can't tell you what kind of acne is that by just looking a photo... But yes, it might be hormonal acne, especially because you're 25 -- adult break outs are ...

Maybe you're overwashing your face? I was getting a lot of these on my skin and learned it was the irritation/dry skin that was ruining my face. Anyway -- better see a derm in this case!

I know what you're feeling! Acne can be such a difficult thing to deal with, especially when it's hormonal. I'm too taking birth control pills to reduce my pimples and, as you, am concerned about the ...
