| Apply a barrier cream (zinc oxide or dimethicone) | Protects skin from moisture and irritants |
| Change incontinence products promptly | Reduces need for aggressive washing |
| Consider disposable washcloths designed for sensitive skin | Gentle, pre-moistened, and formulated for delicate areas |
For Those with Limited Mobility
