I’m gunna make this long story short!
I was on a birth control pill for 10 years with 100 mg of spiro, skin was crystal clear. I switched to Mirena IUD for 1.5 yrs and then had what I THOUGHT was bad acne so I got off of the IUD and decided to go all natural, going off of spiro too. (For acne and other personal feelings towards birth control) A month later I realized I wanted to go BACK on spiro. I am now a 6 weeks in on 100 mg of spiro, and I started doxycycline 2 weeks ago. My skin is by far the worst it’s ever been and I feel so hopeless and beyond insecure every single day. I just feel like there’s no end in sight as it keeps getting worse and worse. Does anyone have ANY advice, perspective, or similar experiences. I know it’s a waiting game but I just don’t get why my skin is continuing to get worse rather than better or at LEAST staying the same. On the iud I had like 1/10th of the acne I’m producing now. These are deep and painful and stay so long! I’ll put photos for reference. Any comment is appreciated.. tysm
