  • Title: [Treatment of acne and seborrhea using antiandrogens].
    Author: Keller PJ, Fetz A, Schär A, Floersheim Y.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1978 Oct 21; 108(42):1640-2. PubMed ID: 151916.
    Abstract:
    57 women suffering from seborrhea and acne were treated with low doses of estrogens and antiandrogens. A cyclic regimen comprising 21 tablets of 0.05 mg ethinylestradiol and 2 mg cyproterone acetate was used. Results were very favourable: within 6 months, 51 patients were healed or significantly improved. There were only minor side effects, and none of the women conceived. It is concluded that this combination not only provides very effective therapy but might also be the contraceptive of choice for women with skin problems.
