Description
It is common in clinical practice to see skin damage in patients when the skin is exposed to moisture for a long period of time. Extensive exposure of the skin to moisture is harmful and can lead to skin breakdown. Moisture associated skin damage or MASD is defined as inflammation and erosion of the skin caused by prolonged exposure to moisture including urine, stool, perspiration, wound exudate, mucus, or saliva. MASD includes the four forms of moisture associated skin damage which are 1) incontinence associated dermatitis or IAD, 2) intertriginous dermatitis or ITD, 3) peristomal moisture associated dermatitis, 4) and peri-wound moisture associated dermatitis. The purpose of this presentation is to educate the attendee on the different types of MASD, identify patients who may be at risk of developing skin damage from moisture exposure and provide prevention and treatment modalities.
