Abstract

Sensitive skin syndrome in children is an extremely relevant problem in our time, which is being intensively studied all over the world. According to known scientific data, more than half of the world's population has sensitive skin, which significantly worsens the quality of life of patients.

Aim - to increase awareness about sensitive skin syndrome in children, classification, modern diagnostic methods, clinical features and treatment of sensitive skin in children.

Sensitive skin syndrome is a combination of subjective (pain, hyperesthesia, tingling, burning, itching, tightness) and objective clinical symptoms (erythema, reactive transient hyperemia, dryness, peeling, increased skin pattern, tendency to telangiectasia). Sensitive skin syndrome in children can be characterized as reduced resistance or increased reactivity of the skin in response to common exogenous and/or endogenous factors that cannot be considered as common irritants. The formation of sensitive skin syndrome in children is influenced by many factors: age, gender, skin phototype, structural changes in the skin caused by genetic and constitutional factors, hormones, physiological irritants, weather, climatic and environmental factors, lifestyle, and concomitant dermatological diseases. The variety of known modern classifications of sensitive skin types reflects the lack of a unified position among dermatologists on this issue. A significant number of invasive and non-invasive tests have been proposed by scientists to assess and predict sensitive skin in children. Modern recommendations for caring for sensitive skin in children are focused on the following areas: avoiding provoking irritants, restoring the skin barrier, regulating the epidermal microbiome, and calming neuroinflammation.

Conclusions. Sensitive skin syndrome in children is a universal phenomenon in a modernized society with widespread use of cosmetics and personal care products. Knowledge of possible exogenous and endogenous irritants to sensitive skin will allow for the targeted development of personalized recommendations for the care of sensitive skin in children. Screening and timely diagnostic, proper care, and treatment of sensitive skin syndrome in children can improve health and enhance quality of life.
