Dr.Futterweit: DHEA which is sold over the counter is not indicated in most women. It is converted by the body onto testosterone, the potent male hormone which often causes acne, excessive hair growth and in some thinning of scalp hair. As a young woman that is not for you or your bosy image. I strogly disapprove of your taking DHEA or T- drops (probably testosterone) Dr. Futterweit
