Skin and vein eval: If you are experiencing skin and vein changes then this will need to be evaluated by a doctor. It is not likely to be caused by these medications. Of note generally Yasmin and Spironolactone are not usually prescribed together. Yasmin and other birth control pills containing Drospirinone already have a anti androgen effect like Spironolactone. Using together could cause an elevated Potassium level
