Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi,Apologies in advance for length/mobile formatting. Also, Merry Christmas!BACKGROUND I've been seeing my current derm since May for mostly hormonal acne/fungal acne. My skin type is very oily in summer, oily-combo in winter, and I live in a dry desert climate. I am a long-time CeraVe lover and use that in combination with Finacea, which has helped. I was on a 5 month course of the antibiotic minocycline, which ended in November, which also helped a bit with suppressing acne.Nothing ever really worked for me the way birth control did, I was on it from March 2016-August 2018 but then had to switch to an IUD for other reasons. But man, did that stuff regulate my skin.My derm won't prescribe me isotretinion until we've exhausted all other options because my acne is rarely cystic, much more whiteheads than anything. But she will consider it if nothing else works to 90% clear it since so far my skin has been quite stubborn.I am thinking of going back in the new year to ask for spiro, since so much of my skin is caused by stress. Currently on holiday right now and everything has calmed right down, compared to finals season a few weeks ago. I just had a few (dozen) questions about spiro and this community's experiences on it.•are you on it indefinitely or is it a cycle?•how long is a cycle? Do you do multiple cycles?•if once the cycle is done, does your skin stay clear or do you have to be on it forever for your skin not to revert back?•any mental side effects? Birth control was a real doozy.•any physical side effects that you didn't expect?•is there anything you can't do while on spiro? I keep thinking of isotretinion but I don't think it's quite as intense as that.Thank you all!
