Hormonal Acne (Girlies)

Hey Girls,
I was wondering what has worked best for you for hormonal acne. I am going to the derm in a week and would like to be proactive in my treatment and make some suggestions. The only thing I don't want is antibiotics, so let me know what's worked for you! Thanks!

Re: Hormonal Acne (Girlies)

Get the book the hormonally vulnerable woman by geoffrey redmond. It's great. Birth control kept me under control forever until I switched the pill to alesse be/c of the mood swings i was getting on ortho tri cyclen. Alesse made my skin go nuts and I am still paying for it! Big time!!! But I read about spiro on this board (do a search for it on here and in that book it talks about spiro too) so i went on it and it's going to be 2 months on sunday yay and have been back on otc for about two weeks and I can see that it is much better, my main problem now is the horrible red marks, really they are very bad. So sad . Anyway but the spiro take 2 to 4 months to kick in and i just read on here that it took some girl 6 months till it kicked in. I guess it all depends of the person. But I can really see a difference. After the alesse I was hearing so many good things about yasmin so i decided to try it but so some reason my body didn't like it but now that i'm on the right bc pill for me and the 2 months mmark for spiro things are finially started to look better. There were months I didn't see a change in my face so sad. My derm put me on doxy and I've been on it for a couple months but I guess it doesn't work for my be/c I have hormonal acne? idk Please get the book, it for all ages 20's ,30's ,4's, 50's. I'm really glad that I got it. It also talks about birth control pills too, all kins of things. Good Luck!!!!

Besides birth control pills, you could also take supplements like evening primrose oil and zinc.
