Intertriginous dermatitis which is also known as intertrigo, is an inflammatory condition that affects the skin folds of all genders and races. Those who are obese and/or who are diabetic are at particular risk of this infection. It is especially prevalent in hot and humid conditions and secondary infection is common.
This module begins with the definition, aetiology and most commonly affected areas of intertrigo. The risk factors and clinical presentations are discussed as well as patient education and management of uncomplicated cases. The complications of intertrigo which include secondary fungus, bacterial, and viral infections are outlined. The common pathogens causing these secondary infections and management strategies are identified.
Given the risks associated with secondary infection, it is essential that nurses are able to identify the risk factors associated with this infection early. Given the role nurses play in supporting personal hygiene, it is likely that nurses will be the first (or second after the patient) to identify the early signs of intertrigo. By identifying the early signs of this infection, secondary infections can be avoided and important patient education can be provided.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
