Abstract
The paper gives the results of examining patients with acne vulgaris, by using a set of clinical and laboratory studies involving hormonal blood test, estimation of the microflora, and determination of the degree of sebaceous excretion in the standard areas of the facial skin, as well as dermatology life quality indices. Acne vulgaris is shown to be associated with hyperandrogenism and ovarian insufficiency in 74.5% of the women. Combination therapy comprising a combined antiandrogenic contraceptive and topical antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents could achieve remission of acne vulgaris in the majority of women (95.7%).
