title: The effect of estrogen on the skin.
abstract: Investigative reports describing the effect of estrogen locally applied to the skin have been examined. It is apparent that physiologic doses of estrogen in postmenopausal females improve skin elasticity and increase the thickness of skin but that very large doses induce skin atrophy. The contraindications against the use of estrogen preparations are presented.
