Which skin classification addresses issues of burning, tanning, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?

The Goldman system is recognized for evaluating skin types based on the characteristics of the skin's reaction to sunlight, particularly in terms of burning, tanning ability, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This classification focuses on how different skin types respond to UV exposure and is particularly useful in understanding the potential for adverse reactions such as burning and pigmentation changes after injury or inflammation.

The Fitzpatrick scale, while also addressing sun sensitivity, categorizes skin into types primarily based on the skin's reaction to sun exposure in terms of burning and tanning, but it does not specifically address post-inflammatory changes.

The Glogau scale is more concerned with the signs of aging and photodamage, such as wrinkles and skin texture, rather than burn reactions and hyperpigmentation issues.

The Brigham scale is not widely recognized and typically does not address these specific characteristics, further indicating that the Goldman system's focus on the effects of sunlight on the skin aligns more closely with the question regarding burning, tanning, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
