    TLDR Anti-androgens can help treat tough skin conditions like severe acne and excessive hair growth.
    In 1977, a study by S. Nolting found that the use of anti-androgens had positive effects on skin conditions that were otherwise difficult to treat, including severe forms of acne, seborrhoea, androgenic alopecia (hair loss), and hirsutism (excessive hair growth). The study emphasized the importance of understanding the effects of oestrogen and gestagen, as well as monitoring and considering potential side effects alongside the contraceptive efficacy and therapeutic results in dermatology.

      The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
