Primary Hyperhidrosis and Sensitive Skin: Exploring the Link with Predictive Machine Learning-Based Classification Models

Primary hyperhidrosis (PHH) is a disorder of excessive sweating caused by aberrant cholinergic signaling. Sensitive skin (SS) is a condition of subjective cutaneous hyperreactivity to innocuous stimuli, impacting 40% to 70% of the population. SS is exacerbated by sweat, stress, and heat, suggesting...

Popis
Shrnutí:Primary hyperhidrosis (PHH) is a disorder of excessive sweating caused by aberrant cholinergic signaling. Sensitive skin (SS) is a condition of subjective cutaneous hyperreactivity to innocuous stimuli, impacting 40% to 70% of the population. SS is exacerbated by sweat, stress, and heat, suggesting that cholinergic stimulation may contribute to SS flares. To survey PHH sufferers to assess hyperhidrosis (HH) and SS symptom burden. An International Review Board (IRB)-exempt survey was disseminated by the International Hyperhidrosis Society. A predictive classification model for SS was built using random forest machine learning algorithms. Of the 637 respondents with PHH, 89% reported SS; and there was a significant association between HH and SS severity scores. Importantly, SS occurred on body sites affected and unaffected by HH. Predictive modeling designated Sensitive Scale-10 (SS-10), a validated questionnaire to gauge SS severity, to be the most helpful in predicting SS in this cohort. Self-reported data. These data are the first to propose and support a relationship between SS and HH. SS occurred with greatest frequency at HH-afflicted body sites, but also occurred on unaffected sites, suggesting that sweat is not the sole causative link. Future work can explore cholinergic signaling as a potential link between these conditions. Screening HH patients for SS may be warranted.
