First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests a new barrier cream (Dermategrity "Anti-fecal" Barrier Cream) that contains zinc oxide and a natural plant extract to protect and heal skin damaged by incontinence. Sixty adults with incontinence-associated dermatitis will receive either the new cream or a standard zinc oxide cream. Researchers will compare healing, redness, and skin barrier function over 14 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- barrier cream with zinc oxide and soy extract
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a more effective cream for healing skin damaged by incontinence, reducing pain and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The cream is not yet proven to work better than standard treatments.
