Skin Health Concerns Affect Millions Worldwide

Skin health is a global concern, with numerous conditions affecting millions worldwide. Rosacea, for instance, impacts 415 million people, presenting symptoms like erythema, flushing, and burning. Meanwhile, atopic dermatitis (eczema) affects up to 3% of adults and 20% of children under 7, posing significant social and economic costs.

In France, common dermatological issues include scabies, rosacea, and allergic reactions like lupin-induced anaphylaxis. Less common but notable are lichen sclerosus and prurigo nodularis. Globally, sensitive skin, characterized by stinging, burning, and itching, is a pressing concern. This is often exacerbated by cosmetics, climate changes, and skin barrier impairment, leading to lesions and sensitivity.

Psoriasis, another widespread condition, affects 125 million people worldwide, with no known cure. Sensitive skin syndrome is also prevalent, with 43% of French women and 32% of UK men affected. In the US, 40% of adults have confidence in the scientific community's understanding of these skin conditions.

Skin pathologies, including rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis, significantly impact millions worldwide. Sensitive skin syndrome is also a major concern. While confidence in scientific understanding of these conditions is high in the US, further research and awareness are crucial for managing and treating these widespread issues.
