Dry Scaly Skin

Clinical Condition:
Dry skin may be pruritic (itchy) and can be due to dehydration of the skin from the environment, chemicals or disease. The cause must be determined if the condition fails to respond to treatment.

Skin Cream
Skin Care Lotion
Emollient Cream
Barrier Creams
Moisturizing Lotions

Callus

Clinical Condition:
Callus occurs on the feet, elbows and parts of the hands due to repeated pressure, for example, improperly fitting shoes.
Note: Do not cut, shave or file callus on the feet of a diabetic, the elderly or persons suspected of having arterial insufficiency. Foot care should be provided by a podiatrist or person specializing in foot care. Orthotic shoes may be indicated for diabetic feet.

Denuded Skin

Clinical Condition:
Loss of the epidermis is caused by exposure to feces, urine, body fluids, wound drainage or friction. Eliminate the cause if possible.

Peri-tube Skin Irritation

Clinical Condition:

Incontinence

Clinical Condition:
Utilization of skin care products are intended to prevent / reduce potential for skin damage. Excess moisture and alkaline pH alter skin barrier function leaving it vulnerable to chafing, irritation, breakdown and infection. Fecal incontinence further complicates the problem putting the patient at even greater risk of breakdown.

Tracheostomy Site

Clinical Condition:
Complicated tracheostomy tube sites present a significant challenge to the clinician and patient. Common problems associated with these situations include compromised skin integrity from excessive moisture due to wound drainage, secretions and perspiration as well as pressure and friction from the tracheostomy collar and tube stabilization ties. These problems can lead to severe pain as well as increased risk of wound contamination and infection. Cleanse the site with normal saline.

Suggested Products:

Barrier Films
Foam Dressings

Trauma from Tapes and Dressings

Clinical Condition:
Adhesive trauma (skin stripping and tension blisters) is one of the most common problems associated with adhesive use. Many of these injuries are prevented by careful attention to skin preparation and protection, choice of tape or dressing, and proper application and removal of tape.
