Sorry I am just getting back to you, I just saw your question! I think the only ones who know enough about Spironolactone are Dermatologists, my GP knew nothing about it. I would call your Derm and as...

Do you have a humidifier in your bedroom? It helps me a lot, especially in the dry, indoor heat of winter. Also, avoid gel moisturizers and opt for a cream one instead. I like Clinique Dramatically Di...

Hello, just wanted to let you know that steroids can cause acne to flare. If it is worse right now and different than your usual acne, it is probably the steroids that did it. The good news is that it...

Have you tried Spironolactone? I had my hormones checked too and they were normal, but Spiro is the ONLY thing that has helped. NO Initial Breakout either. Birth control pills alone were not enough fo...

Yep, you hit the nail right on the head. I, too, know what it feels like to be damaged, traumatized beyond repair. Even if this gets better, I am forever changed. I am 37 and married for many years. ...

Hello, I am sorry that you are feeling depressed. I know how hard it can be to have acne clear only to realize that what is underneath is not what you expected. And much more permanent. I am no expert...

I really like Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Cream. It doesn't break me out and is the only thing that I have found that hydrates my very dry skin. My skin is also very sensitive and thi...

I think you look great! Congratulations on your improvement! I know that this process is slower than you would like, but I bet that you will eventually be very happy with your skin! Those indentations...

I would recommend an Anti-inflammatory Diet. Dairy is very inflammatory and acne is an inflammatory condition. The hormones in most dairy may also play a part. Google Anti-inflammatory Diets. I follow...

Are you currently using Retin A Micro? Did this happen after you started it? I was using Retin A Gel 0.025% for 7 months (followed Dr. recommendation exactly) and got a similar texture. I ...

I had a thyroid problem and lost 35 pounds, only weighed 90 pounds, was a skeleton, didn't get my period. Had my hormones checked and my body was not making any due to lack of fat (that is what my doc...

If you use retinoids, that could be the cause. Happened to me...

Hello, The original Proactiv worked really well for me when I was in my teens and twenties. Now I am in my thirties and the only thing that has helped is Spironolactone. Was a miracle for me and I ha...

Please listen to your gut and DO NOT do laser! I have seen the horror stories... My recommendation would be to try Microneedling (not Demarolling), done in a doctors office. I have seen people that ha...

Hello SaucyNewel, Yes, it is still too soon to see the positive effects of a retinoid on acne. They say that it takes at least 12 weeks (or longer) to see noticeable improvement. It also does not sur...

Hi Sunnybloom123, I am so sorry to hear that you are suffering. I am 37 years old and have struggled with moderate adult acne for 1 year. Though, I have had very mild acne since I was a teenager. The ...
