Doesnt seem so.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that , the symptom you are telling , having sensitive skin is not suggestive of Rheumatoid arthritis . This disease usually presents with swollen joints and pains . So highly unlikely that sensitive skin will be a symptom of RA .

Any other query please ask.

Take care.
