Sensitive skin (SS) is a syndrome in which neurosensory disorders accompany epidermal barrier dysfunction. However, it not yet clear how high anxiety levels affect the biophysical parameters of patients with SS.We aimed to investigate relationship between and facial neurosensitivity, erythema index, sebum content, sensitive scale scores individuals skin.The study was carried out on 35 SS 40 without over three months. In study, questionnaire detect presence skin, for severity, lactic acid sting test (LAST) show Mexameter index measurement, Sebumeter content measurement were used. addition, patient control groups measured using hospital depression (HADS).While HADS-Anxiety found be significantly higher there no significant difference HADS-Depression scores. Moreover, strong positive correlation skin.Sensitive disorder that can sometimes occur any dermatological examination findings. particular, sensations patients, along their levels, are essential should evaluated approach skin.
