What retin a has to do with androgen receptors

[CokoMleko]

I saw someone post that retin a blocks androgen receptors is that true or what?

It isn't, Retin-A (tretinoin) is a topical cream, I doubt it goes systemic. I think you're talking about Accutane (isotretinoin). In that case, yes, it goes systemic and can negatively affect androgen receptors and your whole body.
