probabaly good at making it worse since oily skin is a side effect..

I counter that...

I can hereby gladly confirm, that on my part, it has worked wonders in terms of acne. I had serious amounts of breakouts, and bad skin, before I started on Proscar. Couldn't eat as much as an ounce of sugar, before breaking out all over. This has not vanished completely, but it has certainly diminished considerably since I started on the hair pills.

Now I can eat what I want, and no serious breakouts. So I'm very happy about that. I guess it's the same as women taking birth control... it kinda controls and maintain your hormone levels, and keeping them even...
