Resource summary
Moisture Associated Skin Damage
Intertriginous Dermatitis (ITD)
Risk Factors:
Hyperhidrosis
Obesity
Pendulous breasts
Deep skin folds
Immobility
Diabetes
Excessive Moisture: sweat and sebum
Increased TEWL and higher pH
Secondary fungal or bacterial infections
Fungal
Bacterial
Hemolytic streptococcus
Staphylococcus aureus
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Cornyeobacterium
Proteus mirabilis
Symptoms
Burning
Itching
Redness
Scaling
Satellite rash if fungal
Interventions
Keep skin clean and dry
Dust with absorbant skin barrier powder
Spearate skin surfaces with skin barrier, sealant, or soft cotton material
Commercially available textiles to wick away moisture
Peristomal
Risk Factors:
Urine
Stool
Chemical irritants
mechanical injury: pouching system
Excessive exposure to urine, stool or mucus from ostomy
Can also be caused by irritation fro removal of pouch
Symptoms
Erythema
weepy
shallow ulcerations
Interventions
Determine cause of leakage
routine skin cleanser and moisturizer
skin sealant, skin barrier ointment, skin barrier paste or solid wafer to protect skin
Adequately absorbative dressing
Change dressing before saturated
Periwound
Risk Factors:
Wound exudate
chemical irritants
mechanical injury
Acute vs chronic
infected vs not infected
Inflammation and erosion of the skin associated with exudate or bacteria from the wound
Exudate Assessment
Sanguinous
Maceration potential
Serosanguious
Maceration potential
Serous
Maceration Potential
Seropurulent
Increased MMPs, toxins
Purulent
Increased MMPs, toxins, can't absorb
Interventions
Cleanser and moisturizer to keep skin clean and dry
Skin sealant, skin barrier ointment, skin barrier paste, or solid wafer to protect skin
Change dressings before saturated
Use low air loss support surface for moisture control of large surface areas unable to be protected by dressings
Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD)
Risk Factors:
fecal incontinences
Urinary incontinence
Inflammatory response to the injury of water-protein-lipid matrix of the skin
Signs
Erythema
Swelling
Oozing
Vesiculation
Crusting, scaling
Burning
Itching
Intervention
Treat etiology
Identify at risk patients
Absorptive padding and change when saturated
Mild incontinence skin cleanser
Moisturizer to skin
Skin barrier
Condom cath or external pouch
Indwelling catheters
Skin sealant
Change undergarment often
Prevention and Treatment
Liquid acrylates
Skin prep
Ointments
Petroleum, xinc oxide, dimethicone
Windowed dressings
Barrier products around wounds
External collection devices
Ostomy pouches/wound managers
Reduce exudate and edema
Compression, elevation
Super absorbent dressings
Hydrofibers, calcium alginates, foams
