Selecting the appropriate moisturizer depends on the patient's skin type, condition, and specific needs. For example:
For dry skin, thicker creams and ointments may be more effective. For sensitive skin, fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products should be chosen. For oily or acne-prone skin, non-comedogenic lotions are preferable.
Consultation with a dermatologist or wound care specialist may be necessary for complex cases.
