Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a form of moisture-associated skin damage caused by prolonged exposure to urine and/or faeces. It is associated with pain, skin breakdown and reduced quality of life. This guide outlines the causes, prevention, assessment and management of IAD, and explores the role of structured skin care regimens, including skin cleansers, barrier creams and barrier films, such as the CliniShield Advance range.
