Her doctor should be able to prescribe anti-androgens. If her temples are receding that is a clear sign of raised androgens. Of a technical note women with cystic ovaries can develop androgenic alopecia. Clues to this are an increase in facial / body hair. Weight gain. If your sister is into competitive sports or a "gym-aholic" this can raise androgens via the adrenal glands. Regards Andy The answer actually lies within your question:
