ABSTRACT

The skin is an organ closely related to the endocrine system. The endocrine system has an important role in the skin development and its normal physiology. Skin, pilosebaceous unit, eccrine, and apocrine sweat glands have hormonal receptors and are targets of hormones. On the other hand, the skin synthesizes a variety of hormones and thus it may be considered as an endocrine organ. This article is an overview of the effects of some hormones on the skin.
