Acne May be Treated Effectively by Hormonal Therapies
Hormonal therapy in the form of combination oral contraceptive pills has been shown to help treat both inflammatory acne lesions (the papules, pustules and painful nodules under the skin), and non-inflammatory acne lesions (blackheads and whiteheads).
Dr. Schlosser suggests that hormonal therapy should not be used in isolation but instead recommends that combination oral contraceptives or anti-androgen medications be used in conjunction with topical retinoids for optimal results.eceptor.
"Combination oral contraceptives can be very beneficial in the treatment of acne in appropriately selected women, and several different oral contraceptives have been shown to be effective in clinical studies," said Dr. Schlosser.
"But the treatment of acne with combination oral contraceptives needs to be targeted to each patient's individual needs, and patients should be monitored regularly to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their particular therapy," the expert added.
