Abstract:
Women are the primary focus of dermatologic care in the United States. The awareness of differences in cutaneous biology between the sexes is vital to appropriate diagnosis and treatment of patients. Although research directed at women's health has become a greater priority in recent years, there has been very little gender-specific research in dermatology. This paper reviews the available data pertaining to dissimilarities in male and female cutaneous biology.
