The doctor doesn't think a PET scan is necessary (I asked). The last PET scan I had was in May and it had a lot of hot spots on it becasue I was still healing from my colon resection. For some reason, the doctor doesn't think a PET scan is what I need now. Thanks for putting my mind at ease about the spots.
Spironolactone and acne have always been looked upon as a favorable combination. In other words, Spironolactone is often used by dermatologists to treat acne . Spironolactone belongs to the class of drugs known as antiandrogens. Antiandrogens are hormone inhibitors.
Spironolactone also treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or a kidney disorder called nephrotic syndrome. This medication is also used to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood).
