The authors report the results of an open multicentric study of 136 women treated by a combination of 35 micrograms ethinylestradiol and 2 mg cyproterone acetate for cutaneous manifestation of hyperandrogenism. No pregnancy occurred during the treatment of 12 months. Comparison between the last treated and non treated cycle showed a significant difference (p less than 0.001) in the severity of acne lesions regardless of their sites. General and gynaecological tolerance were excellent.
