Hey everyone, back to the story of acne. It has been 5 years now since my face is cleared of cystic acne. I am going to share with you the tips. Unfortunately this only will be helpful for woman. The reason is because the medicine that I am going to talk about inhibits the male hormones. Therefore its not recommended for males. The drug I am talking about Spironolactone. First of all let me explain to you about this medicine. Spironolactone is a diuretic and it has many uses. I don't wish to go further on its medical uses. So let me talk about how it works on acne for woman. Cystic acne is caused by PCOS or high aldosterone levels. This medication helps to reduce aldosterone levels. Aldosterone is a male hormone so therefore its useless for woman. High levels of Aldosterone causes acne, PCOS and hirsutism in woman. How to take Spironolactone. Well its easy and I had no side effects. The dose I took was 50 mg in the morning and 50 mg at night. I took it after

Hello everyone, I think I am coming back after 9 years. A lot has changed. I am already a qualified doctor, working almost 3 years now in Ireland. I am currently working as a Psychiatry Registrar in one of the hospitals in Dublin. Life isn't the same as what it used to be in the medical school. I can say that it is more stressful now. I am more matured now and i have the sense of responsibility. My acne disappeared in 2013 and now my face is left with pitted and rolling scars. They are quite bad when seen under an angle light. I have not done much for them. But I am planning to do invasive treatment to see if it works. I have heard that TCA peel and Co2 lasers has been effective. But i haven't the time to take off  form work as the recovery time is 7 days. I will post more about what sorted my cystic acne. I am just posting my current pictures and you will have an idea how i look after 9 years. Take care see you on the other posts.
