"like many of the women posting here, i have used almost every prescription and non-prescription acne treatment over the last 15 years.  i was prescribed spironolactone, 50mg a day at the end of april 2015. the first 3 months were horrendous. my cheeks and sometimes forehead broke out so bad and the pimples lasted for weeks or months and left red scars. i was so depressed, i came on these sites for answers. i found hope when others stated that it took awhile to start working. i was noticing a decrease in amount of oil my skin produced. i can honestly say that as of today, 9/12/15, my skin is amazing. i have a few light red scars but other than that my skin feels amazing, no pimples, very little oil. i hope it stays this way!"
