Asked By:jewels45788 in Plymouth, MI

Hi, I'm 27 years old female and am taking spirlactone for acne and I've been on this since November 2014. My breast really hurt for about 1-2 months. I'm taking 100mg a day. I notice some blue veins in my chest before my period before I started spirlactone. But now they are always there on my chest and in my upper arms and don't go away. Is this caused by spirlactone or what else? And what can I do about this? Thank you I'm so self conscious about this
