People with incontinence (urinary or fecal) tend to have excessive moisture build up around their buttocks, hips, and genitals. Skin irritations are caused by excessive moisture. Caregivers and users of incontinence products should be on the lookout for skin with the appearance of redness, peeling, or perineal dermatitis (diaper rash). Yeast infections are also very common skin ailments in incontinent people. Yeast infections on the skin can be very uncomfortable and often painful. They are easy to identify with their fiery red appearance and itchy burning sensation. Treatment with an anti-fungal cream is often necessary in order to heal.
