So I’ve been taking spironolactone for 7 weeks now and I had a flare up on week 5 due to ovulation. And it’s been healing for 2 weeks now. Today I had my first ever dermatologist appointment. I got clindamycin 1% and tret 0.05% now I’ve always been scared to try tret and now more than ever because of the purge.

Are you in a topical along side spironolactone?

So just had my first dermatologist appointment today and he did discuss about other oral medication and also mentioned accutane. Now I’ve only been on spironolactone for 7weeks. What do you think is it worth giving spironolactone a shot ? I did tell the derm that I’ll stick to the spironolactone for now to see how it does and to also prescribe me topicals to see how it does. Then he’ll see me again in 3 months.

I should mention that I got prescribed spironolactone by my Primary doctor 7weeks ago.
