Accutane was a miracle for me! The side effects I got were just some chapped lips and nosebleeds. The benefits far outweigh any possible side effects. I say go for it, if your doctor says it's okay.

I asked my dr. for spironolactone, it's a dieretic made for blood pressure, but works for women with acne by blocking the androgens that are causing the breakouts. I have been on 75mg for 3 weeks with incredible results. The acne just stopped and the side effects - there are none I would ask my dr. to try that route before something severe. Good luck to you.

I have been on Spiro for 2.5 weeks now and have had the opposite effect-- my skin has broken out horribly. I am hoping this is just an initial breakout though. *I HOPE*. I have already tried accutane 3x. The Spiro has definitely curbed oil production...but my forehead has broken out in lots of red/white bumps. Some are popping up on my cheeks as well. Before starting spiro was acne was under control (though I still had pimples), but since starting spiro i feel like my skin is going crazy! has anyone experienced an initial breakout like this???does it get better, or is spiro just not for me???too soon to tell?

Honestly, I struggled with really bad acne forever, and it's very depressing. What finally worked for me, and I can't beleive I'm actually one of those people with good skin is this:

I get a facial once a month, by a good estatician. No cheap nail salon crap. I pay about $100 a month for a good facial, and I'm telling you it works. You don't have to do it forever, but for the first 5 months it really helps clean your skin out.

#2 Arcona face products. All natural, organic, and yes they really work. My friend works on celebrities faces' and she uses Arcona with them.

#3 Diane 35 birth control. But honestly, my face improved without it.

I've really been there. Did accutane twice, proactive, retine A. dry ice on the face. I really did it all and I never thought I would have good skin. But once i got facial and switched to good products I saw a difference. It takes about 5 months, but it works. My pores are even shrinking and my scars are vanishing, and people even say to me that I have nice skin!
