I'm confronting with a difficult case....could you help?

Question

i have a patient with a very strong hormonal disorder. her hormonal level is much too higher over the normal level
in some cases, when my teen patients have had hormonal disorders i used to prescribe them oral contraceptives, but this girl was administrated a higher dose of testosterone when she was a baby.
according to the tests results she cannot be administrated hormones because this might cause her a heart attack.
if you've confronted such a case before, please indicate some treatments that might help her
she has an acute acne that cannot be treated with any external (facial) solution

Answer 1

Metformin....not a contraceptive and balances hormones and side effects of possible testosterone increase.
Do some research on PCOS you might find some interesting treatment options.
Good luck.

Answer 2

I had severe acne in my teens and early 20's caused by a strong hormonal imbalance. I was on hormone therapy for 20 years, which helped a bit. I eventually went on Acutane for my acne. Your patient could try Acutane, or she could try laser/photo therapy for her acne. The various laser/photo/light therapies do not affect any other part of the body except the skin that is being treated.

Answer 3

So she has too much testosterone in her system now? Is that the hormonal disorder? You don't say. If so, here is a medication that a Bayer subsidiary has had good luck with:
