Dermaordinologie
Dermaordinologie is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of skin disorders. It combines the fields of dermatology and endocrinology, addressing conditions that are influenced by hormonal changes and manifest on the skin.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Dermaordinologie is a relatively new field that has emerged in response to the increasing recognition of the interplay between the skin and the endocrine system. It is primarily concerned with conditions such as acne, rosacea, hirsutism, and hyperpigmentation, which can be influenced by hormonal imbalances.
Conditions Treated[edit | edit source]
Acne[edit | edit source]
Acne is a common skin condition that is often influenced by hormonal changes. It is particularly prevalent during puberty, when increased levels of androgens stimulate the production of sebum, leading to blocked pores and the formation of pimples.
Rosacea[edit | edit source]
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels in the face. It can be triggered by a variety of factors, including hormonal changes.
Hirsutism[edit | edit source]
Hirsutism is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in areas where hair is usually minimal or absent in women, such as the face and chest. It is often associated with an excess of androgens.
Hyperpigmentation[edit | edit source]
Hyperpigmentation is a condition characterized by dark patches on the skin. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal changes, particularly those associated with pregnancy or the use of hormonal contraceptives.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment in dermaordinologie typically involves addressing the underlying hormonal imbalance, often in conjunction with topical or systemic treatments to manage the skin manifestations. This may involve the use of hormonal therapies, such as oral contraceptives or anti-androgens, as well as treatments such as retinoids, antibiotics, or laser therapy.
