Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) results from an extended period of exposure to various types of moisture, commonly urine or faeces, sweat, and wound exudate¹. It can result in extensive skin breakdown through erythema, maceration and eventually moisture lesions, with the most common presentations being incontinenceassociated dermatitis (IAD), intertriginous dermatitis, periwound moisture-associated dermatitis, and peristomal moisture-associated dermatitis¹. MASD is not caused by moisture alone — other factors including friction, hygiene products, or microorganisms are usually involved¹. MASD can be painful and effect the patient’s quality of life², potentially resulting in moisture lesions if not properly managed.
