The Importance of Skin Care in Palliative Care -
Skin issues, including pressure ulcers, rashes, and chronic wounds, are common among patients in palliative care. These conditions can cause significant pain and impact a person's well-being. Effective skin care in palliative care involves gentle yet proactive measures to manage these challenges, focusing on both prevention and treatment.

Preventing Pressure Injuries -
Regular repositioning, specialized mattresses, and cushioning can reduce the risk of pressure sores. These strategies, combined with attentive care, help protect fragile skin.Hydration and Moisturization -
Dry and cracked skin can lead to infections and discomfort. Using pH-balanced cleansers and emollients helps maintain skin integrity and promotes healing.Infection Management -
