Diaper Rash Creams & Ointments for Adults

Adult diaper rash creams and ointments are over-the-counter solutions to help protect the skin from rashes that may develop from incontinence. These products are also ideal to use for minor burns, scrapes, insect bites, acne, or other minor skin conditions. Even with the most attentive care, those who deal with adult incontinence may find themselves with rashes or skin irritations. Adult diaper creams soothe irritated and damaged skin to promote healing. They also provide protective barriers to shield the damaged skin from excess moisture, giving it the best chance to heal. Further, prolonged skin contact with urine, feces, or both causes the skin’s pH to rise. Along with the increasingly alkaline environment, the enzymes in feces can result in tissue damage. Symptoms of diaper rash in adults include:

• Red, irritated, inflamed, or burned-looking skin
• Skin lesions
• Itching
• Burning
• Pink, dry skin
