Nurse Practitioner SS Wound Care Consulting San Diego, CA
Allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, denudement, maceration, folliculitis, infection, pruritis, hyperkeratosis…the list goes on. Identifying and managing issues of the periwound skin is as important as treating the wound itself because damaged periwound skin can lead to delayed wound healing, increased wound size, pain, and infection, as well as other complications. This session will discuss the differential diagnosis of various periwound skin problems and review management strategies.
