i would look into getting a new derm. that seems odd to me. i have been on it for over 7 years and my derm never mentioned once about me going off of it. i take 100mg a day. i get blood work once a ye...

i take 100mg and it works very very well and has done so for over 7 years. i would definitely up your dose to 100mg. i don't think it works that well on any dose less. some people even have to go up t...

i always wonder this too. for me i plan to stay on it until after i hit menopause (i am 42 right now) at least. this dec will be 7 years that i have been taking it.

yeah definitely ask your derm. my derm was the one that suggested it to me years ago and i still get it from her. ugh i remember the feeling of having bad skin its the absolute worst.

i would get back on the spiro and get regular bloodwork and monitor your blood pressure (you can buy one of those kits at the local drug store) weekly and go from there. i've been on spiro for 6 1/2 y...

I absolutely adore the Lancome Bienfiat SPF 50. It is oil free and absorbs very quickly. I used the Elta MD before this and love this one so much more. It's a bit more expensive but totally worth it.

i started at 25mg, 50mg, 75mg and 100mg when i first went on it years ago and found that each time i upped the dosage it would totally throw off my cycle so i would get 2 periods a month. for me the w...

i love micellar water its very gentle and works great at removing makeup. i use this then wash my face with my regular cleanser to be sure its really clean and none of the product is left on my skin.

have you thought about spiro at all? for me birth control really screwed up my hormones and gave me lots of acne no matter what kind i was taking. the only way i cleared up was getting off the bcp and...

I would get a series of IPLS' for the hyper pigmentation. It works fast and there really isn't any downtime. The zapped areas will get more red after the procedure and then after a few hours they will...

yeah this is very frustrating! i loved the qualitest and mylan versions the best but those are the ones that taste like peppermint. i wonder how much it is for the aldactone out of pocket. i'm thinkin...

i would do the spiro again before accutane. it takes a long time to really work i think at least 6 months but best thing you can do is take an antibiotic for a few months while on it then slowly wean ...

i would definitely get those injected with kenalog and ask about spiro. i was on birth control for many years and i'm convinced it gave me cystic acne because i never had it before i started the pill....

I've been on spiro now for over 6 years but for some reason in the last year all the pharmacies around me have had trouble getting it in. I was on the qualitest version (for over 5 years) and then was...

Well that is very frustrating! If your derm doesnt have time for you its time for a new derm. I was lucky after going through a lot of bad derms I found a new one before I started spiro that would not...

It was easy for me i always broke out really badly the week before my period and the week of my period and my derm told me it was hormonal because it cystic in nature and always occurred on the outer ...

Hello. I agree 200mg a day seems like a higher dose but if the doctor recommends that dose he must think that is what you need. On that front though I would only take what I was comfortable with takin...

ask for spiro and get off the tri-sprintec if you can. i found that birth control made my acne really bad but the spiro cleared it up and stopped the cysts.

You can message me on here or at [email protected] - see what the derm says and go from there. I’ve never heard of filler leaving a blue tinge. I’ve had restylane it was easy and not really painful ...

i would wait this out for a few more months before you get filler but if you get something like restylane you really wont have to worry about side effects. it is made of hyaluronic acid which is a nat...
