The clinical diagnosis of rosacea and SS was made by two independent senior dermatologists, according to the criteria in the 2017 update by the National Rosacea Society Expert Committee, self-perception sensitive skin questionnaire and a positive lactic acid sting test with the exclusion of other inflammatory skin diseases, respectively. All patients provided written informed consent. The study was ethically approved by the Institutional Research Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (No. Here, we aimed to explore whether clinical information together with images analyzed by RBX technology could be applied for the differential diagnosis of rosacea from SS in clinical practice.Ī total of 275 patients (201 rosacea and 74 SS, respectively) with Fitzpatrick skin type III to IV were enrolled from the Dermatology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Nanjing, China) from April 2019 to March 2020. The VISIA ® complexion analysis system (Canfield Scientific Inc., Parsippany, New Jersey, USA) is commonly used clinically for analyzing facial skin conditions, in which skin images obtained directly using polarized light are further analyzed using the Red/Brown/X (RBX) algorithm. The pathogenesis, medication, and prognosis of rosacea and SS are quite different, so it is necessary to find reliable non-invasive methods to differentiate between the two conditions. It was reported that erythema might also be present in 74% of SS patients. Sensitive skin (SS) is commonly defined as the occurrence of unpleasant sensations (pruritus, burning, pain, and tingling) upon exposure to certain physical, thermal, or chemical stimuli that normally cause no such sensations on healthy skin. Erythema is the most common manifestation among all types of rosacea.
