Description
Incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD) and intertriginous dermatitis (ITD) are both silent conditions which can affect individuals in all age groups. Following exposure to urine and stool, IAD affects the buttocks, inner thighs, perineum, perianal areas and is considered a precursor to pressure injury. ITD is most common in overweight people living in warm, humid climates. It commonly affects the groin, underarm, abdominal pannus and under the breasts, causing a skin rash in the folds and areas where two skin surfaces rub together. Skin erosion and secondary bacterial infections, fungal infections, or candida can occur. This presentation is focused on defining IAD and ITD, describing the risk factors for IAD and ITD, and discussing evidence-based practice (EBP) changes designed to prevent IAD and ITD from occurring.
