Les hormones sexuelles et la peau : questionnaire à l'attention des vétérinaires praticiens. Mise à jour bibliographique et synthèse

    Fanny Sparza
    TLDR Sex hormones affect dog skin conditions, but more data is needed.
    This document provided a bibliographic update on dermatoses in dogs associated with sex hormones, highlighting conditions such as feminization syndrome, hyperestrogenism, and hyperandrogenism. It also discussed alopecia X and recurrent flank alopecia, which were attributed to sex hormones without definitive proof. A new condition, "puppy coat," involving coat changes post-neutering, was mentioned. A survey targeting veterinarians confirmed literature-reported symptoms and described previously undocumented coat and skin changes linked to hormone medications, despite limited responses. The study underscored a lack of data on certain dermatoses and their relationship with sex hormones.
