  • Title: Avoidance and management of peri-wound maceration of the skin.
    Author: Cutting KF, White RJ.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 2002 Sep; 18(1):33, 35-36. PubMed ID: 12238719.
    Abstract:
    Excessive wound exudate or other bodily fluids, such as urine or sweat, can cause skin maceration to occur around a wound, which may delay healing and lead to other complications. This paper examines means of preventing maceration while ensuring a moist wound-healing environment and looks at management techniques if the condition develops.
