Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research A Review of Androgen-Progestin Regimens for Male Contraception
Hormonal male contraception is effective and could be market-ready, but more research is needed to ensure safety for all ethnic groups.
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 Rooster Feathering, Androgenic Alopecia, And Hormone-Dependent Tumor Growth: What Is In Common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.

Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and the Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research Comprehensive Clinical Management of Hirsutism
New treatments for excessive hair growth in women include insulin modulators and enzyme inhibitors.
research Hirsuties

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Overview
The document concludes that effectively managing PCOS requires a multifaceted approach.
research Alopecia: Managing the Basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS in teenagers is important for managing symptoms and preventing long-term health problems.
research Serum Prostate Specific Antigen Levels in Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with androgenetic alopecia (hair loss) have normal prostate specific antigen levels but higher testosterone levels.
