Results\: In the studied population, the most commonly observed hormonal disorders included elevated levels of SHBG \(38.8%\), low levels of total testosterone \(25.4%\), elevated levels of ATPO \(17.3%\), low levels of DHEAS \(15.6%\), and elevated levels of insulin \(12.6%\). High levels of free testosterone were observed in only 6.8 % of the subjects, and 6.7% of the patients had high cortisol levels. Menstruation disorders, hirsutism and acne were reported in the histories of 40% of the study subjects. However, sex hormone levels were not found to correlate with the symptoms reported by the patients, and were not significantly different from those measured in the remaining study subjects, who did not complain about symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Patients presented with very high scores of stress exposure – 7 and 8 \(on a scale of 1 to 10\). The type of treatment applied \(topical vs. systemic\) was of no significance in terms of stress alleviation. Disease progression did not correlate with the stress level either. In terms of disease progression, most patients were classified as Ludwig grade I\-2 \(24.74%\). Having compared the applied methods of treatment in the studied population, we established that a great majority of the patients had been treated with topical solutions \(80.00%\), amongst which the 5% minoxidil sol"]
