[Hormonal therapy of acne vulgaris. Review and results of treatment (author's transl)].
Hormones play a major role in the development of acne vulgaris of pubertal onset. In addition to a seborrhoeic diathesis, an imbalance of oestrogens and androgens, as well as altered enzyme metabolism in the sebaceous glands are factors frequently implicated in the aetiology of this condition. There are many reports on hormonal treatment in the literature; the therapeutic regimes and results achieved varied greatly. The present report is concerned with a discussion of the results obtained in 50 patients with acne vulgaris treated with a drug containing oestriol.
