The Intersection Of Endocrinology And Dermatology: Hormonal Influences On Skin Health And Disease
Dr. Rajat Mittal, Dr. Megha Goyal Mittal

Background: The intersection of endocrinology and dermatology highlights the profound impact of hormones on skin health and disease. Hormonal fluctuations influence various dermatological conditions, from acne to autoimmune disorders. Understanding the intricate interplay between hormones and skin biology is crucial for comprehensive dermatologic care and unveils potential therapeutic avenues targeting hormone pathways. Methods: We conducted a prospective study with 68 patients, focusing on hormonal influences on skin health and disease. Comprehensive clinical assessments, including medical history, dermatological examinations, and endocrine evaluations, were performed. Statistical analyses were conducted to elucidate correlations between hormonal imbalances and dermatological manifestations. Results: Elevated androgen levels were strongly associated with acne and hirsutism, while hypothyroidism correlated with alopecia and dry skin. Additionally, autoimmune thyroid disorders exhibited a high prevalence of co-occurring autoimmune skin conditions. Discussion: Our findings underscore the intricate relationship between hormonal imbalances and dermatological conditions, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to dermatologic care. Addressing hormonal imbalances and understanding shared pathogenic mechanisms between autoimmune thyroid and skin disorders are crucial for personalized treatment strategies. Conclusion: Integrating knowledge from endocrinology and dermatology enables better understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving skin conditions and facilitates tailored treatment strategies. Our study contributes to advancing holistic approaches to dermatologic care, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
