摘要
Androgen hormones play an important role in common skin and hair conditions including acne vulgaris, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia. Blocking this androgen effect may lead to significant improvements in these conditions. Several medications that work through a variety of different mechanisms may be prescribed safely and effectively as antiandrogen therapies in the dermatology arena.
