Spray vs. ointment: which works better for incontinence rash?
NCT ID NCT07637695
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a silicone barrier spray works as well as a standard zinc oxide ointment for treating mild skin rash caused by incontinence in nursing home residents. Forty participants received one of the two treatments as part of a regular skin care routine. Researchers measured rash severity and skin health at the start, after one week, and after two weeks.
