There is growing interest in the development of a skin classification system that captures the world's diverse population. The Fitzpatrick skin classification scale is used both clinically and in research settings to determine an individual's skin color. With the high global burden of skin sensitivity (atopic dermatitis, keloid formation, etc), there is a need for a skin classification system that takes into consideration an individual's reaction to environmental insults and injuries. Our proposal builds on the existing Fitzpatrick skin classification scale by asking two additional questions of patients: do patients have sensitive skin; do patients have a history of hypertrophic scarring or keloids. By separating patients into 2 categories (sensitive vs non-sensitive skin), we create a system that can help dermatologists decide on which treatments to offer patients based on their skin classification. Dermatologists can better predict patient outcomes for dermatologic or cosmetic procedures by knowing how they react to environmental insults/injury. Santiago S, Brown R, Shao K, et al.

人们对开发一种能涵盖全球多样化人群的皮肤分类系统的兴趣与日俱增。菲茨帕特里克皮肤分类量表在临床和研究环境中均被用于确定个体的肤色。鉴于皮肤敏感性（特应性皮炎、瘢痕疙瘩形成等）在全球的高负担情况，需要一种考虑个体对环境损伤和伤害反应的皮肤分类系统。我们的提议基于现有的菲茨帕特里克皮肤分类量表，向患者额外提出两个问题：患者是否有敏感性皮肤；患者是否有肥厚性瘢痕或瘢痕疙瘩病史。通过将患者分为两类（敏感性皮肤与非敏感性皮肤），我们创建了一个系统，该系统可以帮助皮肤科医生根据患者的皮肤分类来决定提供何种治疗。通过了解患者对环境损伤/伤害的反应，皮肤科医生可以更好地预测皮肤科或美容手术的患者预后。圣地亚哥·S、布朗·R、邵·K等。改良菲茨帕特里克量表——皮肤颜色与反应性。《药物皮肤病学杂志》。2023；22(7):641 - 646。doi:10.36849/JDD.6859。
