[Dermatologic therapy unit anti-androgens].

Abstract

The administration of anti-androgens brings favourable results especially in such skin diseases showing unsatisfactory therapeutic results, i.e. all severe forms of acne, seborrhoea, androgenic alopecia and hirsutism. Exact knowledge of the oestrogen and gestagen effect is essential. Also of fundamental importance is the observation and consideration of side effects besides the contraceptive efficacy and therapeutic results in dermatology.

Nodular hyperplasia, black thyroid, and chronic minocycline ingestion in a teenager.

An 18-year-old man with left-lobe thyroid hemiagenesis underwent isthmectomy for management of a nodule that failed to take up radioactive iodine during a nuclear scan. The resected tissue, which demonstrated nodular hyperplasia, and the remaining right lobe, were black. The association between deep staining and chronic minocycline ingestion was subsequently recognized. Twelve years later, the patient remained asymptomatic, suggesting that complete resection of tetracycline-stained thyroid tissue is unnecessary.
