Hi everyone!
So I've been on HRT for about 1 month and a half now, with Androcur (Cryproterone) and Progynova (Estradiol Valerate). I've noticed that i've been experiencing more acne breakouts. I'm just wondering if this is a normal thing and will eventually get better in the future. Do these medicines i'm consuming play a part of why i'm getting more breakouts, because I've read that Spiro a great anti-androgen when it comes to helping acne breakouts.
Also, i'm thinking of taking Accutane to help with my acne breakouts, i'm not sure if this is a good idea because apparently Accutane can damage the liver and the combination of Accutane + Androcur, which both damages the liver, could be really bad. Could you guys give me some advice?
Thank you! :)
