i would not take antibiotics if I were you because it makes the acne all come back after you finish it and even if your body adjust to the bc pill, you will still break out once you come off it even i...

you need to be patient and you shouldn't have bumped the dose to 100 mg so soon. I was on spiro for 5 months and only saw improvments at the very end of the 4th month, almost at 5 full months. it take...

Like Moonlight, I have tried biotin this past month but keep going off and on it because I noticed that every time I take it, my skin gets really oily and I get really big cysts on my face then I stop...

Thank you all for your responses/advice. I really appreciate them! paigems, were you on bc pills at the same time or started after you quit spiro? I am planning on going back on them (never experienc...

Hey everyone. I posted in this forum two weeks ago about the time it takes to get clear on spiro and I just want to let everyone know that I stopped taking spironolactone due to a lot a lot of hair sh...

Hopefully Desogen works well on clearing you up. I found this guide online that might be helpful to you if you decide to look for a different bc pill: Problem Solution Pill ACNE, UNWANTED HAIR Higher...

the uphill battle, How are you doing now with spiro? are you clear and what dose are you on? Thank you for posting your experience on this forum! michi31, im sorry but i cant really help answer that ...

I am on 75 mg because 100 mg was making me crazy! I went down to 50 mg for a week and my derm said she wants me to take at least 75 mg and see if I still feel crazy. So far I feel okay but still waiti...

I have never been on either of those but Desogen seems great for skin because you have a higher amount of estrogen (0.03 as oppose to 0.02) and its monophasic which my derm says is great for people wh...

I think 50 mg is fine but more than that can cause him to get feminine features like enlarged breasts. Also could cause loss of hair, and no sex drive. The medicine suppresses the male sex hormones wh...

txcutiepie03, Thank you for telling me your experience! Because of you saying that, I will def. stick with it for more months because your story sounds like mine! I am at almost 5 months and have my h...

JennaBean, My derm says that I have to be patient and give it atleast 6 mnths to see some improvement so im waiting a few months especially since I just went back down to 50 mg. My acne is not severe,...

JennaBean, I am sad to say that I am still breaking out on the spiro (still have the IB) and I have been on it for 4.5 months. I still dnt see any improvement but people say to wait 6-9 months for thi...

Sadly, I did have an initial breakout 2 weeks after starting 50 mg and I don't take birth control pills (or any other kind of hormonal contraceptive) nor do I put any topicals on my face or take an an...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to add to my post! Like I mentioned, I am taking spiro 100 mg with no improvement but on top of that, I have been very anxious (do not usually struggle with this much anx...

Try not to switch from pill to pill and go on one that is good for acne like Ortho-Cyclen (I recommend from experience) or Ortho-Tri-Cylen. stay on the pill taking it daily (never miss a dose or doubl...

I took ortho cyclen and it helped 90% of my acne. I had to come off of it though because it raised my iron levels to 30 points above normal and now like 8 months later, my iron levels are back to norm...

Thank you! I will continue to take it. I just need someone to tell me to keep going because I really do feel like giving up. I see ur on it too so good luck with the med. Acne is a terrible condition ...

Hello everyone, I am new here. I have struggled with acne since I was 12 and now i am in my 20's. I tried everything to the point where I went on 2 courses of Accutane to get rid of it and it came bac...

Try Spironolactone (Aldactone) look it up. its helped woman with hormonal acne and yours is because of the location its on. I am trying it right now and it hasn't helped yet but im trying to remain ho...
