An astonishing discovery: the cure for persistent acne in women without using antibiotics.

Researchers at the University of Southampton have found that spironolactone, a drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure, could effectively treat persistent acne in women. The results of the SAFA study, which was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, were published in the British Medical Journal. Currently, topical treatments are the go-to medications for acne, but if these are not effective, oral antibiotics can be prescribed. However, this can contribute to the growing issue of antibiotic resistance. The new study tested and found success with spironolactone for over 400 women with acne that had persisted for more than six months. The drug helps to reduce hormones that lead to the development of spots. Any side effects experienced were minimal. The researchers are now hoping that more doctors will prescribe the drug rather than antibiotics.
