Hey, everybody. I have an observation to share and an open ended question for ya'll. For the 20 months that I was on Spiro, I had amazing skin and everybody felt compelled to comment on it, so I know it wasn't just my imagination. I had an orchiectomy about a month ago and haven't taken any anti-androgens since. Since then I've had a few pimples, my face looks shiny (greasy... ugh), and my pores are making themselves known. This is bugging the hell out of me because I barely wear makeup at all and I'm not about to start. Call me low maintenance.
So, has anybody else had this experience? Maybe post-SRS? I still have a whole lot of Spiro, but I hesitate to start taking it again just for my skin. I was really glad to cut down on my meds. Advice?
Thanks in advance.
Many take spiro to clear out their skin. If you have access to a doctor, I'd suggest going for a consultation. If not, and in the case of deciding to start taking it again, use a much smaller dose than you did before.
