Hi Diana -
I think the Diane is working!! I will finish my first pack on Saturday
(in 3 days) and I can already see that it's helping. I'm still on the
antibiotics but I have dropped the dosage from 200mg to 150mg hoping it
will alleviate some of the blotchiness. As soon as I think it's safe, I
will stop the antibiotics altogether. You should try the Diane if you
have had the skin problems like me and maybe it will work for you.
