    I used spiro for a little over a year. I used it for the huge hormonal cysts I was getting on my chin and cheeks. They would take months to heal and left pigmented scars. I started out on 75mg but...

    Back in 2010, my doctor put me on Spironolactone 100mg to treat acne, oily skin, and as a part of my PCOS treatment. For the first three months, I broke out more than I even have in my life. I...
