If your loved one is incontinent, keep an eye on their skin’s health. Urine can react with skin and irritate it, causing it to break down. Also, the skin of older adults is fragile and more susceptible to irritations. That increases the likelihood of it becoming damaged.
The best solution for skin breakdown is to keep it clean. Ideally, use a gentle cleanser, such as one from the TENA skin care range – it includes a wash cream that restores and protects fragile, elderly skin. Afterwards, apply a mild lotion or anti-irritant/-itch/rash cream.
