The best way to take care of the incontinence problem is to act step by step. Some actions, which may seem not to have much to do with the problem, can be really helpful to manage it, both for active and bedridden people. 

It is often the case that people with incontinence belittle their problem, or they are so embarrassed, that they keep it a secret and never reveal it to their doctor or relatives.

Sensitive skin, especially the skin of the elderly who use absorbent products to manage their urinary/faecal incontinence require proper care.

If possible, the person under your care should have a separate room with easy toilet access, or a commode in the room.

Skin redness, which doesn’t disappear after relieving pressure, blisters developing in the area under pressure, damaged epidermis – these symptoms should alert the carer. 

The older the child, the more embarrassing it is for him that his physiological functions don’t work the way they are supposed to.
