I've been breaking out somewhat and have been a bit of a drama queen about it. I have psychological issues with my skin, which I think border on some form of OCD/BDD. But I was crying to my friends ab...

Hey, I feel the same way. I was clear for a year on Spiro but have recently been breaking out. Having completely clear skin was so freeing to me. I could go out without makeup, not feel like everyone ...

I have had acne for about 7 years now and nothing seems to work. I have tried topicals (Epiduo, Retin-A, Ziana, Benzaclin), antibiotics (Mino, Doxy), washes, and I am currently on Spiro which kept me ...

I literally haven't posted on here in a year, but to hell with it. I've been upset and I need to vent. I am clear now of acne but I have a skin picking problem. I basically create my own trouble. I ...

I haven't felt this good about my skin in a long time. I have been on 100 mg of Spiro since August 2013 and my skin is finally consistently clear. I haven't gotten a real zit in about 2 months, I beli...

I haven't been on Acne.org in a very long time, but I just wanted to create this topic about Spironolactone and what it's done for me. I'm a young female in the NY state area, and I have had moderate ...

I am not on a BC right now. I'm looking into starting BC because I am still having irregularities with my period. We'll see how that goes, because other than the period thing, I really really like Spi...

Haven't felt this good about my skin in years. I haven't been wearing foundation for the past week, only a little concealer here and there. And my skin has just looked great! The oil level has definit...

Are you taking the spiro with food? If not, then it may upset your stomach. Also, have you had blood work done to make sure your potassium levels are fine? Nausea is one of the possible side effects ...

I am taking 100 mg of Spiro now...recently I've begun cutting my pills in half so I take 50 mg in the morning and 50 mg in the afternoon because I was having abdominal pain. I also am having irregular...

1. Wait for a month or two, many times spotting resolves on its own 2. If after waiting, it is not resolved, try DIM to address a possible estrogen metabolism problem. Give this a month. 3. If all els...

So I guess there's always trouble in paradise Last week, I noticed some light spotting when I should've been ovulating (this was about a week after my normal period). The spotting stopped after a fe...

I recently upped my dose from 100 to 200 because I got a breakout after ages of clear skin. Now I'm getting two periods a month and the breakouts have persisted. Did you get a breakout when you went f...

Been on Spiro for 2 months now and I'm happy to report I haven't gained any weight. I already lost about 12 pounds this summer just from eating healthier, and I think the Spiro is not making me gain n...

I have been taking Spiro for about 2 months now. I increased the dosage from 50 mg to 100 mg last month. During the course of these two months, my period was regular and fine...but recently I have not...

CeraVe AM is my favorite, I use it everyday. It has SPF 25 in it I believe. It's not greasy at all, and is specially formulated to be good for the skin.

I am feeling really good about my skin right now. The Spiro is definitely working, I think. I have no zits right now, just a few small red marks that can be covered up with a dot of concealer. My skin...

i woke up this morning with a big lump thats kinda tinted red thats between my mouth and my chin. its not that noticable, but it REALLY hurts when i move my mouth. I also have school TOMORROW. i reall...

Good luck! Did you stop the minocycline? What dose were you on? I have been on spiro 100mg and mino 50mg for over 7 months - I'm super scared to come off the mino... I think I was on 50 mg of Mino a...

I think I've grown out of mine for the most part, at least the 'worst' part of my acne journey. In high school I used to get bigger, more painful zits. Now I get much smaller ones, closer to clogged p...

Skin was doing REALLY well until I decided to mess it up of course! I've had this clogged pore right below my eye for a few weeks now and it's been bothering me, so I tried to extract it. Of course it...

I know no one really checks this thread, but I'm mostly logging this to keep track of my progress, so whatever. Haha. I've been on Spiro for almost two months now, been on 100 mg for about 3 weeks. ...

I think acne has for sure made me a more insecure person about other parts of my body. Since I'm so OCD about my skin, it translates to other physical attributes; I feel insecure about my freckles, th...

Skin is doing okay, still getting clogged pores as usual which then turn into big red marks after they're gone. Hopeful that my bumped up dosage of Spiro will take effect.
