Pimple Not responded
Dr. Naval PatelDermatologist • 19 Years Exp.MBBS, Diploma In Dermatology & Venerology & Leprosy (DDVL)
Pimple is the most common condition treated by physicians worldwide.
Though most pimple patients remit spontaneously, for the ones that do not or are unresponsive to conventional therapy or have obvious cutaneous signs of hyperandrogenism,
Hormonal therapy is the next option in the therapeutic ladder. It is not strictly indicated for only those patients who have cutaneous or biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism, but can be used even without any evidence of hyperandrogenism, for therapy-resistant pimple.
It can be prescribed as monotherapy, but when used in combination with other conventional therapies, it may prove to be more beneficial.
Hormonal evaluation is a prerequisite for hormonal therapy, to identify the cause behind hyperandrogenism, which may be ovarian or adrenal.
