Abstract: | Incontinence-Associated dermatitis (IAD) is a combination of skin
changes caused by the presence of confluent moisture, being
characterized by prolonged skin exposure to elimination. НLs is a
rather frequent condition, taking into account that there is a sLJnLficDnt
proportion of people, most of whom are aged 65 years or over and are
admitted to acute or long-term care, suوٴerLnJ from urinary and/or
fecal incontinence [1]. Typically it is recognized as an LnflDmmDtLon of
the skin surface characterized by redness (skin rush), which mainly
Dوٴects the region of the thighs, buttocks and scrotum, in males and
large lips in females [1,2]. НLs type of injury translates the reaction of
the skin to the aggressor agent, immediately compromising its ability
to act as a protective barrier [3]. If IAD is not LdentLfied and treated in
a timely manner, this redness and/or rush may progress rapidly to the
local formation of abrasions and vesicular lesions that with prolonged
exposure to risk factors may trigger an infectious process with high
severity [4]. A cycle begins where a progressive increase of local
LnflDmmDtLon and loss of cutaneous integrity is observed |
