Sensitive skin in children

Numerous studies have assessed the prevalence of sensitive skin among adults. To the best of our knowledge, the presence of sensitive skin in children has not been evaluated.

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of sensitive skin in children under 6 years of age according to a survey among mothers.

A survey was conducted in France by HC Conseil (Paris, France) using a sample of mothers, which was drawn from a representative sample of the population aged 15 or older. The mothers were selected and then interviewed if they had at least one child under the age of 6 years. A minimum of 100 children per age group was required.
