The Importance of Acidic ph on Wound Healing: Why All the (ph)uss About Microenvironments?. Another form or MASD is peristomal moistureassociated dermatitis, which is an inflammation or erosion of the skin related to moisture from fecal, urinary, or chemical irritants beginning at the stoma skin junction, which can extend outward in approximately a four-inch radius. 6 The location of the stoma and the type and consistency of the effluent may have an impact on the potential for breakdown of the peristomal skin and may also affect the treatment choices for protecting and treating the skin. Despite the utilization of various containment devices and strategies, in individuals with hyperactive bowels, diarrhea, or fistulas that connect the bowel and the skin, fecal effluent may leak out onto and erode peristomal skin. Obtaining and maintaining a secure fit with a pouching system are the biggest challenges. Poor appliance fit and adherence contribute to leakage and erosion of the epidermis, which in turn perpetuate the vicious cycle of inability to maintain secure pouching post maceration.

The first type of MASD is incontinence-associated dermatitis or IAD, which has many aliases such as diaper dermatitis, maceration, diaper rash, perineal dermatitis, and moisture lesions. IAD develops as a form of irritant dermatitis resulting from prolonged or chronic exposure to urine and/or stool, particularly liquid stool. These lesions are also often mistakenly labeled stage 1 or stage 2 pressure ulcers/injuries. 3 IAD occurs in the perineum, including the labial folds and vulva to the anus in women, and from the scrotum to the anus in men; groin, buttocks, gluteal cleft, and even extending down to the inner and posterior thighs. 4 When the skin is moist, it is more susceptible to damage from pathogens. Skin damage may be exacerbated by the use of alkaline cleansers, soaps or detergents, aggressive cleaning, and inappropriate use of containment devices. The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly. Moisture-Associated Skin Damage, Skin Care, Periwound, Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis, Practice Accelerator. The fourth type of MASD is periwound moisture-associated dermatitis, and it occurs when wound exudate, which contains proteolytic enzymes, comes in contact with periwound skin for prolonged periods of time. The exudate of chronic wounds can exacerbate the problem because it contains a higher concentration of bacteria and its released histamines, as well as proteolytic enzymes known as matrix metalloproteases or MMPs. The lower the viscosity of wound exudate, the lower the protein content will be, hence a lower amount of proteolytic enzymes. 8 Prolonged exposure of periwound skin to the excessive moisture plus these enzymes leads not only to maceration, but also to excoriation, which Dowsett, Groemann, and Harding defined as an injury to the skin caused by trauma, chemical, or thermal burn. 9 This excoriation can stem from not just the impact of the enzymes, but also from

2 the physical scratching of the area by the patient because of associated irritation and itching. The skin is then more susceptible to pressure, shear, and friction as well, which can prevent the wound from closing. 9. Now let's look at intertriginous dermatitis, also called intertrigo or ITD, which is an "inflammatory dermatitis of opposing skin surfaces caused by moisture accumulation in skin folds and friction between the opposing skin surfaces." 4 This can occur more often among the bariatric population, those with diabetes mellitus, and those on bed rest. ITD can also be associated with containment devices or any other types of medical devices where moisture may be trapped in a skin fold. Some of the most common locations for ITD are the groin, the axilla, underneath the breast, and in the abdominal panniculus or pannus. It is important to consider every skin fold as having the potential for skin breakdown. ITD can manifest with erythema, denudation, itching, oozing, or weeping. An alteration in the normal skin flora may also contribute to the overgrowth of Candida, for example, or for another fungal infection or a bacterial overgrowth. 5 The importance of checking all skin folds cannot be overemphasized.

Adv Skin Wound Care. 2012;25(5): doi: /01.ASW The goal of treatment for intertriginous dermatitis is to minimize moisture and friction in the skin fold and to treat any infections. Topical or oral treatments should be used for any secondary fungal or bacterial infections. If weight loss is possible, this will reduce future complications. While not often recommended specifically as treatment for ITD, surgical removal of redundant skin will also serve to reduce the risk of developing ITD. Light, non-constricting, absorbent clothing made of natural fibers is recommended to promote air circulation and moisture vapor transmission. Silver wicking textiles or absorptive dressings may be placed in the skin fold to inhibit microbial growth and absorb moisture. For toe web ITD, open-toed shoes are recommended to promote air circulation. The following wounds are more prone to developing periwound moisture-associated dermatitis:. The following precautions can help minimize the risk of developing incontinence-associated dermatitis in at-risk patients and to minimize complications in patients already exhibiting symptoms:. Increased perspiration or exposure to external moisture (e.g. swimming, showering). Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-

Leakage of stomal effluent onto the peristomal skin will cause inflammation and even skin erosion depending on the placement of the stoma (liquid and enzyme content varies along the length of the intestine). Maceration, which is marked by whitened and softened peristomal skin, is also common in cases where moisture is trapped under the skin barrier and the skin becomes occluded. The affected area may itch or be sore to the touch. This question is for testing whether or not you are a human visitor and to prevent automated spam submissions.

Intertrigo is also a known symptom of vitamin B6 deficiency. [3]. These areas are more susceptible to irritation and subsequent infection due to factors that promote skin breakdown such as moisture, friction, and exposure to bodily secretions such as sweat, urine or feces. [1]. Surgical Wound Management: A Guide to Post-Operative Wound Care. Treatment of peristomal moisture-associated dermatitis will be geared towards preventing further irritation and healing the irritated skin. The pouching system should be reevaluated to ensure proper fitting and drainage, with the skin barrier suited to the type of output. Topical therapies such as skin barrier powders, pastes or rings can be used to absorb moisture under the skin barrier, provide an additional physical barrier, reduce existing irritation, and allow for proper adhesion of the solid skin barrier. If exudate from an underlying wound is the source of moisture, the etiology of the wound should be addressed and exudate managed with an appropriate absorptive dressing. Moisture- Associated Skin Damage in the Long-Term Care Setting: Categories of MASD. When cutting or molding the skin barrier to fit the stoma, it is recommended that frequent measurements of the stoma be conducted over the first 6 weeks to adjust to the changing shape of the stoma. Moisture- Associated Skin Damage, Skin Care, Periwound, Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis, Practice Accelerator. The issue of peristomal moisture-associated dermatitis also exists for other ostomy sites. For instance percutaneous gastrostomy tube insertion sites have the potential for leakage of digestive enzymes and tube feeding around the tubing. Patients with tracheostomies may develop skin issues resulting from perspiration, saliva, or sputum accumulation around the stoma, under the flange of the external cannula, or on the tracheostomy ties or dressing. 7. Intertrigo can be diagnosed clinically by a medical professional after taking a thorough history and performing a detailed physical examination. Many other skin conditions can mimic intertrigo's appearance including erythrasma, inverse psoriasis, scabies, pyoderma, atopic dermatitis, candidiasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal infections of the superficial skin caused by. Intertrigo occurs more often in warm and humid conditions. Generally, intertrigo is more common in people with a weakened immune system including TEENren, the elderly, and immunocompromised people.

Clin Colon Rectal Surg. 2008;21(1): doi: /s Periwound moisture-associated dermatitis is marked by erythema (which may be harder to discern in persons with darkly pigmented skin), maceration (white, pale, or gray skin that is softened and/or wrinkled), and irregular or diffuse edges (as opposed to pressure ulcers which typically have distinct edges). Wounds with more viscous exudate are more prone to periwound maceration, as the moisture is less likely to be lost by evaporating through the dressing. The individual may report experiencing pain, burning or itching as a result of the skin damage. Damage may be focused on the dependent area of the wound in extremities, due to pooling of wound exudate.

There are several types of moisture that can cause peristomal moisture-associated dermatitis, including exposure to urine or stool, sweat, wound drainage, or other sources of water such as while bathing or swimming. As part of the pouching process, solid skin barriers are placed around the stoma to protect the underlying skin from detrimental components of the stoma output (urine or stool). These barriers work to keep the skin dry by absorbing both effluent from the stoma and moisture from the underlying skin. If too much moisture is absorbed from the stoma, the barrier will cease to be effective, allowing the effluent to come in contact with the peristomal skin. Too much moisture underneath the barrier (sweat or exudate from an existing peristomal wound) can occlude the underlying skin and lead to maceration. Additionally, extended exposure of the pouch adhesive to water, typically while showering or swimming, can cause adhesive failure, requiring more frequent pouch changes and increasing the potential for mechanical damage from repeatedly removing the adhesive. Creasing of the skin underneath the skin barrier when changing positions (standing, sitting, supine). Candida albicans ), or viruses. A frequent manifestation is candidal intertrigo. Gray M.
