Hormones have a large effect on the skin, details of which can be found at [[Skin - Anatomy & Physiology - Endocrine & Nutritional Influences]]. As a result [[Endocrine effects on the skin|Endocrine associated skin pathology]] is relatively common.

The skin is also a producer of Vitamin D., the precursor of the hormone [[Endocrine System - Calcium Homeostasis - Anatomy & Physiology#Calcitriol (Active Vitamin D3)|Calcitriol]]. Ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 300nm is required to convert ''7-dehydrocholesterol'' to Vitamin D.
