I started taking Spironolatone a little over a week ago and have noticed that my face is breaking out more and my pores seem to be larger/more noticeable since starting it. I also got a Mirena IUD about one month ago. I have been on two rounds of Accutane and since that only worked for a few months, I didn't want to go through another cycle of that. Just wondering if this is normal and trying to be patient and stick it out for a few months!
On my 7th week of 100mg Spiro & .025 Tretinoin. I've been experiencing steadily worse breakouts of deep pimples all over my chin for the past few weeks. I used to get a cystic pimple every month or two (although the 50 mg Minocycline I was prescribed helped with that), and now I am getting three a week. I realize Spiro takes 2-3 months to show improvement, but is it normal/expected for my acne to become so much worse? I recently refilled my Mino prescription, but have not seen any improvement.
I'm 19 year old female suffering from severe hair loss (TE ) and severe cystic acne since 5 years. I have tried everything , and now I'm on spironolactone 50mg per day. It's my second month on this medicine and my acne has got worse. There are big cystic acne all around my face , specially my mouth and chin. I am really confused whether I should stop eating it or increase the dosage. Nothing is helping my acne. Please help me.
I recently stopped nursing after 11 months and suffered the whole time with skin issues. I started back on the combi birth control Loreyna (generic for Yaz) and she prescribed spironolactone/dapsone cream for AM & Tretioin for PM. I called and they said this outbreak is normal. She prescribed Doxyclone as well. How long before things get better? Should I stop and let my hormones balance out first? My skin was bad before but this is much worse. Thanks.
