A member asked:
Dermatologist was thinking of starting me on spironalactone for acne. does this medicine affect risk of breast cancer? my grandparent had breast cancer so i want to be cautious. i have read conflicting info

Spironlactone: Spirinolactone does have hormonal effects and can cause breast enlargement in males, for example. There has been concern for raising the risk for breast and uterine cancer in women. You have a second degree relative who had breast cancer. and I don't recommend that you take it.
