[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just putting this out there.

My DD had three Accutane failures.  She did some research and thought it might be a hormonal thing. so we went to an OB/Gyn, who said PCOS and took a hormone blood draw.  DD had testosterone over 100.  She began taking spironalactone and now has only the very occasional flare up.  Almost nothing else will help if it's high testosterone, except sometimes BC (only particular brands) can work (didn't for DD).

Think about getting your DD tested--we could have avoided seven years of misery if we had done this early on.[/quote]

Will a dermatologist test hormones, or do you need to go to an obgyn?[/quote]
You don't need testing to have it prescribed by a dermatologist. It doesn't dry you out like Accutane does, and the side effects are safer. My daughter's face looked just like this person (and improved just as much) https://www.allure.com/story/spironolactone-womans-cystic-acne-treatment-before-after-photos[/quote]
Is your daughter still on the drug or was she able to stop and not have the acne return?[/quote]
