I was recently diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and I started to get cystic acne (the really big and painful type). I literally became a prisioner in my home for a while because I was too embaressed to go outside. I am 23 years old an never experienced acne as a teen. I have seen at least a dozen dermatologists and the first thing they all said to me was I will not be cured unless I take Accutane. I never did b/c of the side effects that it may cause and I am also trying to conceive as well. Can any one tell me if Spironolactone will affect pregnancy and if it will help with my cystic acne and sudden hair growth under the chin.

Thanks in advance for your responses...**Lili
