I want more information about the laser
I cannot find a single dermatologist willing to do any kind of steroid injection on giant persistent cysts. They all say the same thing: too many side effects and it’s a thing of the past. My cysts are HUGE and no one will touch them. All i want is the cortisone injection and everyone refuses me. My mom says she used to have it done and it worked great and now for whatever reason nobody will go near it anymore. Soooo frustrating.
I thought Spironolactone had quite dangerous side effects…
I m 4 months post aviclear and still have acne . My dermatologist now put me on seyasara and winlevi cream. Aviclear is waste of money i did it because i wanted to avoid oral medication. I have been on 4 years of spironolactone and came off due to side effects. Hormonal acne is so frustrating
Why didn’t you discuss Winlevi, androgen receptor inhibitor, the topical for hormonal acne?
