4/4. Diaper dermatitis in an adult. A case of erythema papuloerosive of Sevestre and Jacquet.BACKGROUND: irritants, friction and occlusion favor dermatitis or inflammatory reactions in the diaper area. Diaper dermatitis is not found exclusively in children but also in adults wearing a diaper for urinary incontinence. CASE: We report a case of eroded papules on the labia majora in a woman with urinary incontinence. CONCLUSION: erythema papuloerosive of Sevestre and Jacquet is an unusual dermatitis due to irritant agents in the diaper area that may also affect adults. As this dermatitis may resemble neoplasia and venereal disease, it can be easily misdiagnosed, especially in adults.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3091453502958keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
