Diane35 is pretty good with clearing up acne and oily skin. I used to
have quite a bit of acne on my face due to the oily skin and
over-androgen production, but the diane really cleared it up. I have no
pimples and havent gotten them since I started taking it. Talk to your
doctor about it.

It has made me not have to shave my legs, under arms and I have lost pubic hair. Unfortunately I still have lots of facial hair. The deeper voice, larger breasts and other things generally happen to men taking this medication.
