INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES

Sensitive Skin is a common cutaneous sensory syndrome characterized by low tolerance and high reactivity to various normally harmless stimuli, accompanied by various subjective discomforts such as stinging, burning, pain, and itching, with or without objective signs such as erythema, scaling, and telangiectasia. Seasonal changes, particularly- during spring-summer and summer-autumn transitions, are associated with a higher incidence of sensitive skin. Current research suggests that the occurrence of sensitive skin is the result of interaction between impaired skin barrier and neurovascular dysfunction. The main treatment principles include avoiding stimuli, rebuilding the skin barrier, reducing neurovascular hyper-reactivity, and controlling inflammation. This study investigates the use of sodium hyaluronate medical wound dressing for treating sensitive skin populations.
