The impact of hormonal changes during adolescence on skin manifestations: causes, diagnosis, treatment, and recommendations for practice
Puberty is a period of significant hormonal changes, which are often accompanied by dermatological problems, especially acne. Androgens increase sebum production and alter the microbiome, which can cause inflammatory changes in the skin. The article discusses the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions, with an emphasis on collaboration between pediatricians, gynecologists, dermatologists, and endocrinologists. Special attention is paid to early diagnosis, individualized therapy, and prevention of complications. Practical recommendations outline steps to reduce risks and optimize care.
