I started Spironolactone on June 24 at a low dose and gradually increased. The first month and a half was ROUGH and my skin just kept getting worse and worse. I got so depressed feeling like it would never get better and I wanted to start Accutane instead. Then, within days of increasing my dose to 100mg, I finally noticed improvement(!!!) I woke up one day and realized most of what was left was scarring and the medication was suddenly working like magic! 🪄

I still get some breakouts but they are smaller, less painful, and don’t last as long. I’m mainly focused on fading my scars now!
