Hey I get dry skin too. Not fair is it? Having to deal with dry skin and acne, its a pain. Anyway, I've never tried the moisturizer you use but the best moisturizer I've ever used is Kiss My Face Peaches and creme moisturizer. I put it all over not just dry spots and it's never greasy,it doesn't...

sorry I can't help you much, I never had headaches from spiro but I've been on meRAB to prevent migranes since long before I even started spiro so maybe that has been a factor. Her headaches do not sound like migranes. Maybe she should stick with 100mgs. Did 100mgs help at all? Is she on a birth...

hmm... I don't drink milk at all I never have and I still have acne. I do eat dairy, yogurt, cheese etc. Did you cut out dairy completely or just milk. If you think your acne is caused by excess anderogens why dont you try spiro it has done wonders for me I never break out since I started it and...

the best kind to use is chemical free, sunscreens with active ingerdients like Zinc Oxide or Titanium Oxide. My favorite is Blue Lizard Chemical free formula because in is not as thick as other mineral sunscreens. Blue Lizard original formula breaks me out though I like the chemical free one way...

Isn't it so weird that women who have good skin breakout more when on birth control and women who have acne go on birth control and it helps them. I don't know what to tell you I have always had acne and I take Yasmin which makes my skin perfectly clear. All I really wanted to say is if you are...

doxy never helped my acne neither did minocyclin, but both gave me chronic yeast infections that would not go away until I stopped taking them. Hope you have better luck than I did. BTW doxy and mino make birth control less effective so if you are on it then be careful.

I take 150mg. Im on Yasmin birth control. I meant that it LOWERS blood pressure so no I never worried about my salt intake, My BP run 110 over 70 without the spiro and 100 over 60 with it so I had low BP in the first place, my doctors were constantly checking it to make sure I wasn't too low. I...

So you have probably heard this before but If you get those flesh bumps that have no head and no puss in them and are a pain in the bum to get rid of I've found something that works...well works for me I can't make any guarentee. So my cousin told me to use Selsum blue to wash my face to get rid...

someone should look into why this works maybe there is a chemical/element of urine that helps acne and they could make a product using just that isolated element. I personally have found my "Cure" in spiro, but some people would rather not take drugs this could help them. I just couldn't bring...

sorry to tell ya but you do have to wait it out. Some people take one course of accutane and never have acne again others need multiple courses. I took one course of it and it cleared my skin while I was on it and for about 6 months after I stopped and then my acne came back. Its a very...

It's not known to be carcinogenic in humans there have been studies in lab rats that showed some signs. Its much safer than Accutane and far less side effects for me. Some things to consider are that it does mess with your period, if your not on birth control then it may cause irregular...

doryx is an antibiotic and accutane is a strong dirivitive of vitamin A. They are not at all the same thing and they don't work in the same way. I've been on both and neither of them worked for me. Some side effects I had from doryx were yeast infections and upset stomache. The side effects I...

one thing to think about. I think you can trust your derm it probably wont hurt the baby as long as you stop once you get pregnant... but when your on spiro it messes up your menstral cycle it may make your period sporatic/irregular and that may make TTC a bit difficult because it would be hard...

I took accutane, I have pretty bad acne which is under control at the moment. I took accutane and 5months after I stopped it my acne came back as bad as before. Im just saying that it doesn't work for everyone. I do however think it is worth trying cuz it does help lots of people. I don't regret...

I second the suggestions to go to the dermatologist. I never had acne on my whole body but I used to get back acne and I found that scrubbing really well with a loofa used to help. Mine was mostly from getting sweaty from dancing ballet, I don't dance anymore so I don't get it any more. It's...

see if your insurance will cover regular retin-A that has a generic form called tretrinonin(sp?) My insurance wont cover Retin-A Micro or Differin unless you've tried the cheaper version. In my case the regular retin-A works great and is only $10 for a good sized tube. Warning regular retin-A is...
