Skin Dangers for Diabetics

The result can be devastating, particularly for those who have diabetes and an already-compromised immune system. Maceration, or waterlogging, can add to the fragility of a diabetic's skin and increase the risk of injury. Incontinence dermatitis, otherwise known as perineal dermatitis or diaper rash, leads to the breakdown of skin from overexposure to the chemicals in urine and feces. Bacterial infections are also a danger, especially in people who have dry skin that may have existing cracks and/or fissures present. The exposure to caustic agents, e.g. the ammonia in urine, can affect the pH of the skin and cause irritation. Additionally, the warm, moist environment of an improperly used incontinence pad, diaper or brief can develop pathogenic fungi that could be downright dangerous.
