Moisture Associated Skin Damage

JOIN THIS EVENT!

We would love join us on this event!

Skin is a vital organ in our body. Maintaining skin integrity during patient care is important for every individual. A number of well-recognized etiologies are known to result in skin damage. One of the etiologic factors resulting in chronic inflammation and erosion of the skin is “moisture”. Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) is defined as inflammation and erosion of the skin caused by prolonged exposure to various sources of moisture. MASD encompasses a range of conditions, including incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
