Does excess androgen or excess estrogen cause acne?
I read it was androgens, and now recently I am reading that it is estrogen. So which is it? Any sources that will clear this up for me.

Androgen, it is not necessarily excess. It is a result of hormonal imbalances, usually while going through puberty. As you grow your body keeps trying to compensate for too much, or too little, this can result in acne. Once your body reaches a medium, the acne will go away. In males especially, it also has to do with hair follicles.

Marlena....Androgen's will cause acne, as well as estrogen's but not to the extent as testosterone. I know all to well with testosterone injections every two weeks. My butt breaks out and face. At 60 you would think i would be able to be rid of this problem, but i assure you im not. Good Luck! Steve
