[Personal][Acne][Rant] over 3 months on spiro and...still getting cysts

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been on spiro (50 mg/day) for just over 3 months now. I was feeling decent about my skin - have some preexisting closed comedones from a month ago and a nasty refelling clogged pore, but hey, no cysts! - until...I saw I had one of those headless bumps that will lurk forever on my chin. Yesterday it was seriously just a minor whitehead. Folks, I need a pep talk again - should I stick with spiro? Minus increased anxiety and fatigue (which I'm doing my best to cope with), I haven't had any serious side effects. Having said that, I expected some legit improvement ie moving towards my my old skin sans cystic bumps and it's starting to really bum me out that this won't be a permanent fix. Thoughts?FWIW, I use PC Clear Regular Strength Kit (all 3 components - wash, 2% SA and then benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment) nightly on my face but only switched to the BHA exfoliant for daily use last week. Not sure why that would have made my chin worse, but maybe I'm just super unlucky. I'm trying to stick to a routine but it's hard if the routine isn't actually preventing stuff...The irony is, my facial clogged pores mostly went away within days of no longer using a 1% BHA lotion so I thought I had finally identified an exfoliant that works well for me.
