| Résumé : |
Reports from global markets suggest that the sensitive skin syndrome affects 50 % of the population. Since there is currently no information on this condition in a small market like that in Portugal, the authors designed this descriptive cross-sectional study to characterize this syndrome in this particular context.
Data was collected using a structured questionnaire in the community pharmacies chosen for the study. 333 questionnaires (n=333) were validated, and 46 % of the surveyed individuals described their skin as "sensitive". Responders were predominantly women, the face was the most frequently mentioned area of the body affected, and environmental factors and contact were reported as the main causes of sensitivity. A wide in responses to irritation and in the relationship with previous pathological conditions was also found. Thus, the social and demographic pattern found here agrees with patient-type profile previously reported for the sensitive skin syndrome. |
