A member asked:
What to do about hormone testing for acne! please help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited use: In a woman, significant acne may warn of an underlying disturbance in hormones; it prompts the workup in hope of perhaps identifying an underlying cause of this and other health issues. Treat the acne as you would ordinarily, with a topical such as benzoyl peroxide and perhaps a supplemental Rx like an antibiotic.
