Acne resistant to treatment can be the consequence of elevated testosterone levels. Oily skin predisposes us to acne formation.

We usually treat oily skin with exfoliation agents to open clogged pores or/and antibiotics to fight infection.

But did you know that excess testosterone could be one of the reasons for your oily skin? Even in women?

Therefore it may be appropriate to test patients with acne resistant to treatment for testosterone level. If it is high – doctors can bring it down.
