Eds and facial acne, what are treatment to clear and prevent and help with my scars, i am very insecure these days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spironolactone: EDS= Ehlers-Danlos??? Acne in adult women is a hormone-driven condition. It is related to birth control and menstrual cycles. Not related to collagen defect. By far the best and easiest and cheapest remedy is spironolactone at 25 to 200mg a day as a single dose. It reduces the effects of androgens [male hormones] on oil glands. Not to use if pregnant or in kidney failure.
