TLDR Hormonal imbalances in congenital adrenal hyperplasia cause acne.
The article discussed cases of acne in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The authors, E.D.A. Mitchell, B.R. Allen, and D.I. Johnston from the Children's Hospital in Nottingham, examined the relationship between CAH and the development of acne. They concluded that the hormonal imbalances associated with CAH, particularly elevated androgen levels, contributed to the onset of acne in affected individuals. The study highlighted the importance of recognizing and managing these hormonal disturbances to treat acne effectively in patients with CAH.
