Spironolactone is sometimes prescribed off-label to treat hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in women. It works as an antiandrogen therapy, which can help balance hormones that may be unbalanced during HS. Studies have shown that spironolactone can lead to fewer lesions and less pain in women with HS. However, it is important to consider potential side effects, such as digestive problems, electrolyte imbalances, skin symptoms, and neurological effects. If you have any concerns about starting or stopping spironolactone, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.

I was on spironolactone for my heart for years and at some point in time I was on trazodone for sleeping. I personally did not have any problems, but I would still say talk to you health care provider, they know your history.
I am so glad you posted this because I did not start having problems until they took me off spironolactone. Now I am thinking about having them put me back on it for HS reasons LOL
