![]() But ultimately it completely depends on your body.Įdit: I wish you luck! It's a frustrating process but it can be so worth it in the end. I'm currently on a lower dose bc and I'm looking to get on Spironolactone as well (I also have PCOS) and from what I've been told and researched, bc and Spironolactone have been found to work really well together so you also take both. But if you find a birth control pill that works well with your body, it's amazing. It sucks that it's basically a trial and error thing. Like I was on Yaz and it gave me the worst cystic acne I've ever had and wild mood swings. My only advice with birth control is to not expect the first one to work perfectly and it's totally fine if you want to change pills because of the side effects. With your current bp meds, you'd definitely need clearance from your prescribing doctor to change to Spironolactone, a dermatologist unfortunately can't make those kinds of calls. But if you have high testosterone, certain synthetic estrogens can actually inhibit the production of testosterone. If you don't have a high level of androgen, Spironolactone isn't really going do much for you. That'll indicate which type of medicine would benefit you more because they each do such drastically different things. ![]() Tbh if you can, it might be good to see an OBGYN and get a hormone levels test done. For example, some types of contraceptive (birth control) pills and even a type of blood pressure medication are hormonal. They’re often used to treat other conditions, but hormonal treatments for acne are prescription medications which have also been shown to help improve some types of acne.
