These can be severe hormonal changes, such as those caused by Oestrogen deficiency’s, through to the keratolytic disorders, such as seborrheic keratosis that are benign but unsightly.
If we totalled the skin conditions, and disorders commonly found in a menopausal skin, we would learn that seven out of 10 skin conditions are epidermal.
