Hormonal Therapies for Acne: A Comprehensive Update for Dermatologists.
Introduction: Acne impairs quality of life, often leads to permanent scars, and causes psychological distress. This review aims to update dermatologists on the Federal Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and off-label use of combined oral contraceptives (COC), clascoterone, spironolactone, and emerging hormonal therapies for acne treatment.
Methods: We reviewed current literature on hormonal acne treatments and discussed common patient concerns, barriers to care, and individualized care needs.
Results: Different brands and dosings of COC have generally similar efficacy in treating acne. Dermatologists should discuss contraceptive options and provide individualized shared decision-making with patients based on patient preferences, contraceptive needs, comorbidity profile, access, and cost. Spironolactone is an effective acne treatment with clinical trial data to support its use as a first-line acne treatment for women with acne. Potassium monitoring is of low value for patients on spironolactone unless patients have specific risk factors for hyperkalemia. Clascoterone is a safe and effective topical anti-androgen for the treatment of acne in men and women with limited systemic effects on reproductive hormones.
Conclusion: Hormonal therapies are essential strategies to treat acne. Clinicians should expand the use of existing and emerging hormone therapy as part of their acne treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
