What is Adult Urinary Dermatitis (AUD)?
Sore skin, around the bottom or genitals, in adults who suffer with incontinence is medically known as adult urinary dermatitis (AUD) or incontinence associated with dermatitis (IAD).
Causes of adult urinary dermatitis
It is caused by irritants such as urine in contact with the skin for prolonged periods.
It can cause red or inflamed skin that can be sore to the touch, in and around the bottom and genital area. As with all skin irritations left untreated, it can become infected as the skin is damaged.

How does Drapolene® Cream work?
Drapolene® Cream is an effective treatment for incontinence or urine-associated dermatitis in adults. Its unique antiseptic formulation, gently soothes the irritation, reduces the redness on the skin, and helps stop the bacteria growing that causes the irritation in the first place.
It contains two antiseptics: benzalkonium chloride and cetrimide, which soothe and treat the rash, helping to stop the growth of bacteria which can cause the rash. It also contains two moisturisers: white paraffin and lanolin, which moisturise the skin and form a protective barrier that prevents the external irritants from reaching the skin.
Used at your regular toilet visits Drapolene® Cream can help you treat and prevent adult urinary dermatitis effectively.
