Could Hormones Be the Cause of my Various Skin Conditions?

Could I be 36 year old male with hormone issues? I’m curious as to whether or not hypergonadism could possibly be the culprit for the following conditions that I have: Fordyce spots (lips), Sebaceous Hyperplasia, Pattern baldness, increased body hair, Hyperhidrosis, acne/blackheads/oily skin, Kerastosis Pilaris
Would hormone therapy from an Endocrinologist that lowered my testosterone amounts be effective in treating some of the above? I am thinking of trying Accutane, Pulsed Dye or CO2 laser therapy for my Fordyce which is my primary concern.
