It took a good month! The first 3 or 4 weeks my skin actually got worse! Everything trapped under my skin came up And I even got a couple small cystic ones. You have to give it time. The stuff is...

I did have some small clogged pores and that's where it all started. Most of those are gone and getting facials helps since they can be lanced. There is a cream I was prescribed but the pharmacist s...

I need to get some more in depth hormonal testing like you, but now that I'm on spiro it might mess with the results. I only had my total testosterone tested which was at 25. That is supposed to be ...

Have you seen the dermatologist yet? Before I started actually getting real pimples a had a bunch of little tiny skin colored bumps on the left side of my face. It wasn't as severe as what you have,...

I have been on spiro for 3 months and have been very pleased with the results.  Thought I would share how the process has been.  Would also like to add my acne was not cystic. ...

I would say that's at the point where it is time to go in and see a dermatologist. I first went to a gyn because I suspected I had hormonal acne. I went from having clear skin all my life fo breakin...

I have PCOS but only one ovary is affected. I went to the gyn in October because my periods were arriving about 10 days late (one time 14) starting last May. By the time August rolled around I was b...

Omg that sounds awful.. I don 't know if they prescribe spiro to 17 year olds as I have read it is good for adult acne in women. I just started taking itnot quite 4 weeks ago. It is helping but i h...

Just wanted to chime in. I have been on spiro for 3 weeks and I believe it is beginning to work. I have had 3 pimples come up that are cystic which I did't have before. They only hurt for a day or ...

Oh wow 100 seems high. Have you had any issues with hair growth? I have only had mild but persistent acne. I am on 50 mg a day and I don't know if she plans to increase me later or not. Thanks for...

I am brand new to this acne stuff at 33 years old. Had a blood test that was suggestive of PCOS even though my testosterone levels are great. One ovary is polycystic so im guessing I do indeed have ...
