"this past summer i experienced the worst break out i&#039;ve ever had all over my entire face. never before had that happened- i just had a few cystic nodules around my mouth. for a month i tried everything- are a very strict diet and stayed away from bad carbs and sugars. nothing worked. after seeing my dermatologist and gynecologist and doing research of my own i presented them with what i believed to be polycystic ovarian syndrome. they did blood work and confirmed. the dermatologist wanted to put me on accutane but i didn&#039;t feel good about it. i did more research, found out about spironolactone and asked him if this could be a good alternative, he agreed and i&#039;ve been on 100 mg for about two months now. it has changed my life. gave me back confidence."
