Minimal Skin Irritation
Expressions activating this band show little clear skin-specific content and instead include diffuse physical complaints, emotional reactions, or unrelated health and administrative material. When skin discomfort appears, it is indirect or weakly specified rather than a clear pattern of irritated skin.
Mild Skin Irritation
Expressions activating this band describe intermittent or situational irritation, such as scratching, mouth sores, sensitivity to smells, or discomfort that begins to affect clothing and everyday management. The skin-related experience is present but framed through isolated symptoms or practical inconvenience.
Moderate Skin Irritation
Expressions activating this band describe recognizable skin discomfort and sensitivity that interferes with clothing choices, social activity, or physical comfort. The experience includes visible skin concerns or allergy-related symptoms that make ordinary activities harder to manage.
High Skin Irritation
Expressions activating this band describe active, noticeable skin problems such as itching, peeling, pimples, hives, inflammation, eye irritation, or other visible allergic and dermatologic symptoms. The irritation is concrete and symptom-focused, with clear bodily manifestations.
Severe Skin Irritation

Anchor definitions
Minimal Itch Interference: Itch interference is present at a low level. Expressions activating this band reflect early or diffuse itch interference.
Emerging Itch Interference: Itch interference is experienced here as direct functional disruption, reflecting interference with daily life and measurable impairment. Unlike the band below, where itch interference was characterized by a general form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band likely reflect direct functional disruption from itch interference.
Elevated Itch Interference: Itch interference is experienced here as physiological and somatic distress, reflecting embodied arousal and clinical-grade symptom intensity. Unlike the band below, where itch interference was characterized by direct functional disruption, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band likely reflect physiological and embodied itch interference.
Severe Itch Interference: Itch interference is present here in a general or mixed form without a single dominant facet. Unlike the band below, where itch interference was characterized by the somatic and physiological form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band may reflect general or diffuse itch interference.
