After 10 days in Italy, my skin suffered from some serious breakouts. Many tiny pimples appeared on my eyebrows and forehead areas. I had stopped taking Spironolactone 5 months ago, and my skin was doing alright. But the daily intake of dairy products caused my skin to go crazy. I needed help ASAP. On the day I arrived in Singapore, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Tsu. Since my prewedding shoot is in less than two weeks, my skin woes had to be addressed quickly.
After telling Dr. Tsu my skin woes, he advised to take Spironolactone again. My concern was that Spironolactone takes a while to see the effects. Last time, it took about three weeks before I could see my skin improving. My prior prescription was for two tablets of Spironolactone in the morning. Now, Dr. Tsu advised to increase the dosage since I wanted a faster result. He prescribed two tablets twice a day. Dr. Tsu did point out that taking a higher dose of Spironolactone could result in an irregular period cycle - meaning period coming earlier or later than usual, or having two periods in a cycle. That sounded scary to me. When I was first on Spironolactone, my period the month after was unbearable. I asked Dr. Tsu whether that could have been due to Spironolactone, he replied that his other patients did not mention that as a side effect. Though, my chronic period paid could have been because of the medication. For the sake of beautiful skin, medication it is.
Dr. Tsu prescribed Spironolactone for a month. Let see whether the extra strong dosage will help combat the pimples. My goal is to use this medication short-term, as in for a month or less only. Wish me luck! Dr. Tsu Profile
