Abstract
A method for determining skin irritation is provided. The method uses a source of cross-polarized light to illuminate and area of skin. The cross-polarized light is used to detect subsurface indicators of skin irritation such as erythema, inflammation, dryness, or innervation. The subsurface indicator is then assigned a score.
