Core Tip	Self-diagnosed sensitive skin can be found in one-third of Mexican subjects, but using the lactic acid stinging test, we identified a prevalence of 50%. Baseline biophysical measures did not predict the test response, but alterations in subsequent measurements support the hypothesis of a dysfunctional skin barrier. One subgroup presented a slow response to the test, suggesting that other pathways, such as an altered neurosensitive response, are involved. This study indicates a higher prevalence of sensitive skin in subjects with lighter skin phototypes compared to darker ones. These findings suggest that pigmentation may confer a protective mechanism against sensitive skin.
