I really just need reassurance and support from fellow acne girlies🫠
Hi everyone,
Like the title says I’m really just needing some support from my fellow acne girls who are on spiro. I started towards the end of February on 50 mgs and I’m starting to feel really depressed and distraught about my skin. I moved from a tropical climate (FL) to a very dry climate (CO) at the end of December so I also believe this plays a huge role. I’ve always gotten breakouts around my cycle, usually on my chin/jaw area and sometimes my cheeks but pretty manageable and honestly mostly very clear skin for the most part. I moved here and my skin has gone haywire. I also recently just turned 31 last month, and to make matters worse I started tret before moving to CO and the dry climate exacerbated my already dry skin and caused what my derm believes to be an eczema flare on my cheeks🫠 I’ve been using the Spiro like I said since late February in conjunction with 15% Azelaic acid topically while having stopped tret early February. While the Azelaic acid helps clear them quicker and reduces a lot of my redness, I feel like every time one clears or my skin seems to be turning the corner, another sprouts up and I’m starting to lose hope and a lot of confidence in myself. I have some photos attached from this morning and I just need maybe some words of encouragement and support from other sufferers that this will pass and is the normal cycle of things because I feel like I never want to go out and be seen anymore and seem to be crying over my skin a lot🥲
