starrybabe21 0 Posted October 14, 2006 CASE REPORT Congenital adrenal hyperplasia and acne in male patients Summary Seborrhoea is one pathogenic factor for acne. Androgens induce sebum production, and excess androgen may provoke or aggravate acne. In women an androgen disorder is frequently suspected when acne is accompanied by hirsutism or menstrual irregularities. In men acne may be the only symptom of androgen excess. We report three male acne patients in whom hormonal screening revealed irregularities of androgen metabolism suggestive of late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia and who benefitted from low-dose glucocorticoids. Disorders of androgen metabolism may influence acne not only in women, but also in men, and these patients may benefit from low-dose glucocorticoid therapy. Anyways just thot id spread a lil hope...coz ano how u guys are prob SICK TO DEATH about BCP and how at least sum girls have that "advantage"...

Ancientones 0 Posted October 15, 2006 High levels of Testosterone are also a cause (which is why acne generally goes away once you have passed 22 or so) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
