help me pleaseee
Hiii I’ve been taking Spiro since the 27th of January this year, started on 25mg once a day until about a month ago and then was upped to 50mg once a day. My skin still looks like this. My GP and I are convinced this is hormonal acne, which I’ve had since I was a teenager, I’m 22 now.
I drink a LOT of water, I wear SPF daily, I wash my face with Salicylic acid gently (which I’ve been doing for ages since I have so many closed comedones on my chin/around my mouth) I have cut down my dairy consumption, I don’t eat overly processed foods, I sleep 7-8 hours a night, I ALSO take doxycycline and have been for a couple months, but have been taking it on and off for years. Literally what could I be doing wrong. I feel like my skin is worse. I am feeling so defeated, I’m constantly breaking out ONLY on these areas, I have virtually no acne anywhere else on my face. I don’t have PCOS, but am prone to hair loss as well for some reason. Help me. Is it time to try accutane? Or am I just being impatient? I feel like I should be seeing more results by this stage. Help me pllleassee give me some encouragement I literally cry about this everyday and am in constant cystic acne pain 🥲 thank u love u xx
EDIT: thank you so so much to everyone who has replied !!! You are all amazing and I’m so grateful. I have been feeling really lonely and discouraged lately about my skin, but talking to you guys has really boosted my spirits and given me hope that I will find a solution. Much love ❤️
