ABSTRACT
Incontinence-associated dermatitis, previously and sometimes still referred to as moisture lesions or moisture damage, is a commonly seen contact dermatitis that is a reactive response of the skin to chronic contact to urine and faecal matter. Understanding the etiology is fundamental to creating a skin care plan and successfully prevention. Systemic reviews and studies have shown that the continued variability in management results from a combination of knowledge base, observation, diagnosis, and product selection. This article aims to improve clinicians' understanding of incontinence-associated dermatitis and its management.
