We describe the difficulties of treating acne in a series of female‐to‐male transgender
adolescents, including concerns about potential hepatotoxicity with concomitant use of
testosterone with isotretinoin or tetracyclines. Acne is a foreseeable adverse effect of
testosterone treatment in transgender adolescents, so monitoring for acne is advised. The
treatment of acne in transgender adolescents is important given that severe acne and
transgenderism are associated with higher rates of depression and suicide.
