Endocrinology and Dermatology Review

The skin is affected during normal pubertal development and the progression of a number of endocrine diseases. The skin manifestations may precede an underlying endocrine disease, may emerge simultaneously with the associated disease or may become apparent after the endocrine condition is diagnosed. In this paper, we will review the skin findings associated with physiologic and pathologic endocrine conditions. (Journal of Current Pediatrics 2011; 9: 34-8)
