    TLDR Hormonal imbalances can cause acne, and treatments may include hormone-blocking medications.
    The document "Acne therapy" from August 1999 reviewed various treatments for acne vulgaris, including topical and oral medications. It discussed the efficacy and safety of treatments such as clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide gel, adapalene gel, tretinoin, minocycline, and isotretinoin. The review highlighted the importance of selecting appropriate therapies based on individual patient needs and the potential for adverse reactions. It also emphasized the need for policies to address antibiotic resistance in acne treatment. The findings were supported by multiple studies and clinical trials, providing a comprehensive overview of acne management strategies at the time.
