Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition associated with multiple factors.
Although mostly presenting alone, it can likewise present with features of
hyperandrogenism and hormonal discrepancies. Of note, hormonal therapies are
indicated in severe, resistant-to-treatment cases and in those with monthly
flare-ups and when standard therapeutic options are inappropriate. This article
serves as an update to hormonal pathogenesis of acne, discusses the basics of
endocrinal evaluation for patients with suspected hormonal acne, and provides an
overview of the current hormonal treatment options in women.
