The skin is the largest organ in the body constituting 15% of the total body weight. It is therefore paramount to address skin diseases. Of major importance in the etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of many of these diseases is the gender difference in the skin. Studies on endocrine effects on the skin have revealed that several important physiologic activities of the skin are either partly or wholly under the control of hormones secreted by different endocrine glands.
