I think spironolactone and possibly minoxidil ruined my skin

Has anybody else had an adverse effect from either minoxidil or spironolactone?
The spironolactone first caused melasma on my face and neck, before this I had one or two rashes from it which were short lived and also a tight and dry sensation. Then my face sometimes appeared slightly mottled red and yellow. Now I have premature aging on my face - crepe skin, enlarged pores, and dark circles under my eyes, and wrinkles. I take spironolactone for my hair as I have androgenetic alopecia and it has worked very well in reducing my hair shed. The minoxidil may have contributed also as I have read of a few accounts whereby minoxidil ruined users skin. I feel absolutely trapped, ie. I feel I have to choose between my hair or my facial skin. Can anybody please help me? Or has anyone else experienced these adverse reactions from spironolactone or minoxidil? Many Thanks

The liquid must have dripped all over your face.Try the foam which dries up fast and has no ppg.
