Diseases of the endocrine glands and disorders related to the production of hormones very often lead to skin problems. The impact of everyday diet on disorders and regulation of the hormonal balance becomes more and more noticeable. One of the most frequently diagnosed endocrinopathy in recent years, which is also reflected in the skin, is polycystic ovaries or polycystic ovary syndrome. The aim of the article was to draw attention to the relationship between improper eating habits and hormonal imbalance, which may result in skin defects. Imbalance in the secretion of androgens can lead to disturbances in the functioning of the sebaceous unit, and thus to seborrheic skin diseases or hirsutism. Appropriate pharmacotherapy, diet and supplementation should help to reduce secretion of androgens and their activity in the hair follicles and lower the circulation of free testosterone, but further research is still needed.
