ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND At ‘rst glance, the physiological properties of the human’s largest organ seem equal in both genders. However, with the beginning of hormonal production in puberty, skin differences become conceivable. Moreover, it is known that the susceptibility to several skin diseases, such as acne, rosacea, and seborrhoic eczema, vary between the sexes, and that therapeutic needs of male and female skin are often diverse (1,2).
