Abstract:

Dermatoses are a significant medical and social problem due to their negative impact on patients’ quality of life. These disorders often accompany somatic conditions. Cutaneous manifestations can have a negative impact on the physical, psycho-emotional, and social well-being of patients. Moreover, they can be a process activity indicator, so early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial. The review describes in detail skin and skin appendage changes in endocrine diseases, including diabetes mellitus (acanthosis nigricans, xeroderma, scleroderma, diabetic rubeosis, diabetic dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica, etc.), thyroid hyperfunction (melanoderma, pretibial, and preradial myxedema), hypothyroidism (xerosis, myxedema), chronic adrenal insufficiency (bronzing skin color and oral mucosa pigmentation, Cushing’s disease), obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. Skin changes and the pathogenesis of their development in these diseases are described in detail. Correct and timely interpretation of cutaneous changes in endocrine disorders can contribute to the diagnosis and treatment efficiency, thus preventing complications and improving patients’ quality of life.
