Moisture associated skin dermatitis (MASD)

Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) is an umbrella term for four types of MASD, namely; incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), intertriginous dermatitis (ID), peri-wound and peri-stomal skin damage.

Clinicians need to understand the risk factors for skin breakdown and how to assess and manage the different types of MASD. This is vital if preventative measures are to be put in place to reduce incidence by protecting and restoring the skin’s barrier function through a good skin care regimen.
