The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research [Systematic treatment with sex hormones in dermatology].
Sex hormone therapy is effective for certain skin conditions like acne and seborrhea, but less so for female hair loss and excessive hair growth.
