title: Skin hygiene for patients with bariatric needs.
abstract: Patients with bariatric needs are likely to experience skin problems because maintaining skin hygiene, particularly between skin folds, can be a challenge. This article is a summary of a literature review that explored the evidence on skin hygiene for people with bariatric needs. The findings reveal a gap in the evidence base and the authors make several recommendations for further research.
