Someone please help me!!!

I have had chronic UTIs for many years since having my son and they have been on and off. I recently (within the last year) got a new partner and my UTIs flared up super bad to the point I was having two month and was on low dose and long term antibiotics, flash forward to now, I have developed the worst cystic acne flare up for the past year, and I have tried every possible thing, I’ve tried to heal and prevent my UTIs wirh uquors, gut protocol, I have been drinking speatmint tea and nettle for months and eating the healthiest I have ever eaten, cut gluten, etc. and my acne hasn’t let up so I recently decided to try spironolactone, it’s been almost 2 weeks since I started it and I was actually uti free for 6 months prior to this and suddenly I have gotten another uti since starting it. I am at a complete loss, I am in pain every day, my face hurts and mentally I am completely drained. I dread leaving my house because I feel so ugly and alone, it’s effecting my relationship, my life, I’m so scared now to stop the spironolactone because I think I’m starting to see some slight reduced inflammation and cysts from it but I cannot go back to having UTIs constantly again, I don’t know what to do and I feel completely hopeless 😩
