Sensitive skin (SS) is a common patient complaint; however, there are no consistent guidelines to guide dermatologists' approaches to diagnosis and management of SS. Attendees of an international dermatology conference were surveyed to gauge dermatology providers' experiences and perspectives on SS. Survey results suggest that although the definition and diagnosis of SS are ambiguous, SS is increasingly being considered as a unique condition. Patients are commonly seeking dermatologic care for SS; however, dermatologists identified challenges with diagnosis, counseling patients, selecting products or medications, and assessing clinical improvement. These data highlight both a significant demand and a current need for improved provider resources for SS. Citation: McCormick ET, Desai S, Friedman A.

敏感皮肤 (SS) 是一种常见的患者主诉;然而,目前并没有一致的指南来指导皮肤科医生对 SS 的诊断和管理方法。对参加国际皮肤科会议的人员进行了调查,以评估皮肤科医生对 SS 的经验和看法。调查结果表明,尽管 SS 的定义和诊断不明确,但 SS 越来越被认为是一种独特的疾病。患者经常因 SS 寻求皮肤科护理;然而,皮肤科医生在诊断、为患者提供咨询、选择产品或药物以及评估临床改善方面存在挑战。这些数据既突出了对 SS 的提供者资源的巨大需求,也突出了目前的需求。参考文献:McCormick ET, Desai S, Friedman A.
