Been on spironolactone for 2 months now, I thought it was helping as I stopped getting under the skin inflamed pimples but suddenly this last week I've had a massive breakout around my chin/mouth and so many under the skin inflamed bumps. Is this normal? I'm on 50mg. I wasn't sure if it was irritation from skincare or my hormones but I am spotting currently too
Been dealing with more acne this year particularly on my chin/around my mouth and nose. I sent a photo into the boots online doctor and they said it looked like perioral dermatitis, and I've also contacted my GP now but looking for advice from people who have experienced it themselves. I get a lot of very tiny bump around my mouth and chin, tiny whiteheads that are persistent even when popping and such. Sometimes clear liquid is all that comes out of them. My tretinoin seems to make it look so much worse even though it's worked for me for years, so I had to switch to azaelic acid and after a month the inflammation was a bit calmer but there were still lots of tiny bumps around my smile lines etc. I tried to double cleanse with a vitamin c cleanser and my chin was just inflamed and horrific, now I'm left like this. Been using azaelic acid for about 4 days again with a regular cleanser and moisturiser. I feel so insecure! I do also have tiny clogs at the sides/bridge of my nose unsure if that's the same thing and if it can extend up to there
