research Inherited ichthyosis: Syndromic forms
Understanding the genetics of rare inherited ichthyosis syndromes is key for better treatments and genetic counseling.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa/Acne inversa: an endocrine skin disorder?
Hidradenitis suppurativa may be related to hormones and patients often have metabolic disorders; more research is needed to understand this connection.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function

research Metabolism of Minoxidil, a New Hypotensive Agent 11: Biotransformation following Oral Administration to Rats, Dogs, and Monkeys
Minoxidil metabolizes similarly in monkeys and humans, but differently in dogs and rats.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and might help treat skin diseases, but more research is needed to understand their effects fully.
research Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.

research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Hirsutism, postpartum telogen effluvium, and male pattern alopecia
Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can cause hair growth changes and hair loss, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
