How did you cure your hormonal acne?
I am so defeated at this point. Growing up I had little acne even as a teenager. Then in my earlier or mid 20s it hit me sooo bad. Cystic acne on my jaw line, cheeks, back and some on my chest. I finally got fed up and have been seeing a dermatologist, who I don't fully trust.. Anyway, we tried spironolactone and I had to stop due to really bad side effects but it worked so well 😭 a week after stopping it all came back full force. We tried topicals, did nothing. I'm not on month 2 of accutane and I think this is my last month because I can't handle the side effects. This was my last option. I have no idea what to do.. She says it's hormonal acne based on where it's at. I plan to have my pcp run blood tests to check my hormone levels and see what's off, if anything.
How have you guys fixed your hormonal acne?? I absolutely hate myself because of it and I'm devastated that I need to stop accutane 😭 I'm going to be 30 this year, I shouldn't even be dealing with this at this point..
