Moisture-Associated Skin Damage

Abstract: Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) occurs when skin is repeatedly exposed to various sources of bodily secretions or effluents, often leading to irritant contact dermatitis with inflammation, with or without denudation of affected skin. In 2020, the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society took an initiative that led to the addition of multiple International Classification for Diseases codes for irritant contract dermatitis caused by various forms of MASD for use in the United States (ICD-10-CM). In the… Show more

“…The location of MASD reflects areas where skin is exposed to the underlying moisture source; its borders will follow the flow of effluent from the stoma or fistula and its borders are indistinct when compared to partial- or full-thickness pressure injuries. Symptoms include burning and itching of inflamed skin 1,3,4. While the L24B0 code may be used for initially characterizing MASD of an unspecified source, the WOC or ostomy or wound care nurse's assessment will focus on determining the stoma type, anatomic location of the fistulous tract, character of effluent, and underlying factors leading to irritant contact dermatitis to determine a more specific diagnosis and guide treatment (Table).…”

“…The likelihood and presentation of irritant contact dermatitis varies based on the characteristics of stoma or fistula effluent, its pH, and its microbiologic biome. 1 In comparison to gastrostomy or fistula effluent, the effluent from a colostomy is closer to that of a person with an intact gastrointestinal tract,…”

“…Moisture-associated skin damage develops from prolonged exposure of the skin to various sources of moisture and irritants such as urine, feces, digestive secretions, mucus, saliva, perspiration, and wound drainage, resulting in irritant contact dermatitis. 1 Th erefore, each of the new ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes were added under the category of Contact Dermatitis. Because of the variability of MASD etiologies, the new International Classifi cation of Diseases, Tenth Revision ( ICD-10 ) codes are essential for accurate reporting of specifi c types of MASD in a consistent manner.…”
