    TLDR Hormonal imbalances can cause skin and hair problems in women, and treatments that block male hormones can help.
    The document from November 1, 2004, discusses the impact of hormonal imbalances on female skin and hair. It states that excessive androgen production can lead to skin issues like hirsutism and acne, as well as hair loss. The paper suggests that treatments with antiandrogenic hormones, such as cyproterone acetate, can mitigate the effects of hyperandrogenemia, including hair loss and virilization symptoms like excessive hair growth, clitoral enlargement, deepened voice, muscle hypertrophy, and mammary hypoplasia. Conversely, cellulite might be linked to androgen deficiency, and topical testosterone could be a potential treatment. The conclusion emphasizes that skin and hair loss issues in women are often related to hormonal changes, and that antiandrogenic treatments can be effective in addressing these conditions.
