The Hormoncheck Männer (testosterone, DHT, estradiol, SHBG) can offer clues about skin issues like acne, oily skin, or hair loss. Elevated DHT is linked to androgenetic alopecia and increased sebum production. Low estradiol may contribute to dry, thin skin. However, a single finger-prick test is not diagnostic – hormones fluctuate daily and vary by individual. Results should be discussed with a doctor who may order confirmatory testing (e.g., saliva, venous blood). Self-administering hormones (e.g., testosterone) can cause serious side effects (cardiovascular, liver). Also consider interactions with medications like 5α-reductase inhibitors. The test provides a snapshot, not a diagnosis. Evidence: practice-based, no specific study in context. Beware of exaggerated marketing claims.
