Barrier creams should be used in various scenarios: - Incontinence: For patients with urinary or fecal incontinence, barrier creams protect the skin from prolonged exposure to moisture and irritants. - Pressure Ulcers: For patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers due to immobility, barrier creams can prevent skin breakdown. - Wound Care: In conjunction with other wound care treatments, barrier creams can help protect the periwound skin. - Dermatitis: For patients with conditions like dermatitis, barrier creams can provide relief and prevent worsening of the condition.
