Strategies and Protocols for Healthy Diapered Skin

The following skin care practices are covered in this video:

• Thoroughly and gently cleaning diapered skin with properly formulated wipes
• Maintaining dry skin in the diapered area to prevent skin damage due to overhydration
• Frequent diaper changes
• Airing out skin between diaper changes
• Use of breathable, disposable diapers with increased wicking and superabsorbent materials that allow air to pass through to minimize moisture trapped inside while keeping urine and feces off skin
• Use of barrier creams and ointments to help reduce diaper dermatitis incidence by preventing direct skin contact with irritants in urine and feces
