Skin care is an important part of incontinence care that cannot be overlooked.
In addition to prompt changing of soiled briefs and liners, private areas must be gently yet thoroughly cleansed and dried.
Repeated exposure to urine and fecal matter can be very damaging to sensitive skin.
Improper care may lead to rashes, sores and even serious infections. Look for incontinence products that effectively trap and wick moisture away from the skin and feature soft, breathable lining.
Application of a skin barrier ointment can further protect the area from moisture and prevent irritation.
