    TLDR Hormonal therapy in adults with gender dysphoria often leads to skin issues like acne, requiring a team of skin and hormone doctors.
    The study "Cutaneous Manifestations In Adults With Gender Dysphoria Under Treatment Hormonal In External Consultation Of The Hospital De San José , Bogotá Colombia" is a cross-sectional descriptive observational study that analyzed the skin manifestations secondary to hormonal treatment in adults with gender dysphoria. The study included 85 patients, predominantly young transgender men, treated at the San José Hospital of Bogotá between 2015 and 2021. The main skin manifestation was acne (90%), followed by androgenetic alopecia and acanthosis nigricans. Transgender women presented more acne, androgenetic alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, and melasma. More than half of the patients were seen by both endocrinology and dermatology departments, receiving mainly topical treatment. The study concludes that skin manifestations in patients with gender dysphoria undergoing hormonal therapy are frequent and should be considered in the multidisciplinary approach to these patients, including the involvement of a dermatologist.
