Diarrhoea and its possible impact on skin health.
Mary Wilson outlines the causes of diarrhoea, why bowel control may be lost when stools are loose, the potential damage to the skin and how this can be minimised. It is important that appropriate interventions are employed to treat the cause of the diarrhoea but these are not discussed in this article.
