So I had a big cystic pimple last week. You know, the worst kind—way under the skin, doesn’t come to a head no matter how much BP you put on it, and basically impossible to pop without the help of a d...

It was crazy they just totally went away like 5 days later I woke up and they were gone it was the best thing like in the world. The nodules I had for a few months went away as well. I was at the low...

So to get back to you when I took keflex all my cysts went away except for one but i had a cortisone shot in it and applied bp for a week and it was gone. My cysts never came to a head either. I had n...

Hello. I haven't been on Diane but was on Depo for 2 years from 19-21 and then Ortho-Tri-Cyclen for years from 21-30 and then I was the generic form of that which made my skin worse. The last resort w...

Yeah I always hated taking meds too but sometimes to get where you want to be you just gotta do it to get yourself to a good place. It is hard to figure out where the ib is coming from since you are b...

Hi Sophia, I'm on my 2nd month of Diane with Spiro. I am currently undergoing the initial breakout of cystic pimples but not the rash you mentioned. Are you sure it's connected to Diane and not someth...

if i were you personally i would drop the birth control pills and just take the spiro. spiro alone works so well no reason to add the pill to the mix and then there are less things to worry about too....

Thought spiro didnt produce an IB?? is it liek tane where u may or may not have an IB i thought spiro took 2-4 mnths to kick in but didnt make things worse before better kim Hi Kim, I'm also tak...

Hi KMP86!   Day 32 of my Diane 35 and Spiro journey: Well, I think I spoke too soon about my initial breakout being minor. Since my last entry, things have taken a turn for the worse. (   ...

Hi KMP86!   I am on 100mg of Spironolactone (Aldactone) a day.   So, update on Day 17 of my Spiro journey. Unfortunately, I had a couple of zits appear over the weekend. Two small ones on...

  Hi guys, I just started taking Spiro this week at 100 mg a day along with Diane 35. I have read that they prevent new cysts from forming but I was also wondering if they heal existing ones fa...

hey just wanted to let you know that spiro doesnt heal existing cysts. i would get injections for the cysts since you have had them for so long. i would just make sure they dilute the shot enough so y...

Hi Brittney, Yes, actually, I had a few weeks maybe six months ago where I thought Spiro wasn't working anymore, but I think it was more because I wasn't taking the pills as religiously as I should....

no spiro will not heal any existing spots. you can get cortisone injections to get rid of those cysts or take a short course of antibiotics like Keflex to clear up what you have going on right now. I ...

Hi guys, I just started taking Spiro this week at 100 mg a day along with Diane 35. I have read that they prevent new cysts from forming but I was also wondering if they heal existing ones faster?? I ...

Hey guys, after reading online for hours, I decided to just take Diane 35. It seems to have less chance of an initial breakout and it has the same components as Althea, the BC pills I took for years a...

I would also like to know how old you are as I think age makes a difference when it comes to BCP. I took Yasmin (which I think is the same as Yaz but a bigger dose?) when I was 17 and I don't recall r...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I am 30 years old and have taken Accutane and BC pills before. I took accutane in my early 20s and it really did save my skin. Then I took Alt...

For the past week or so, I've ben going crazy scouring the entire web for Yaz reviews. Until now, I still don't know whether to take it or not. For the past month or so, I have been suffering from pai...

Thanks for your reply. When you say "shrink down" do they gradually vanish on their own? Or do you really need cortisone shots? Mine is nearly flat but discolored like a bruise and I'm wondering if it...

it never works over night for me, and PRID didn't work as well as icthammol ointment...I blob that on and cover with a bandaid, takes me several nights, and for me they usually just shrink, mine are s...

I saw this mentioned on another forum and I tried it and now wish I knew about it 10 years ago! It's an over-the-counter homeopathic salve called Prid Drawing Salve, which is actually meant to draw o...

Hi guys,   I just wanted to ask those of you who have tried PRID drawing salve: how long before it works and brings the cyst to head? I had a huge cystic pimple almost a month ago. It already dr...

  Thanks, klm15. At least it's good to know I'm not alone. I actually eat a pretty healthy diet of lean protein and veggies, with almost no dairy and sugar. Which makes it more frustrating sinc...
