N2 - Urinary and fecal incontinence affects a significant portion of the elderly population. The increase in the incidence of incontinence is not only dependent on age but also on the onset of concomitant aging issues such as infection, polypharmacy, and decreased cognitive function. If incontinence is left untreated, a host of dermatologic complications can occur, including incontinence dermatitis, dermatological infections, intertrigo, vulvar folliculitis, and pruritus ani.
