Skincare in General - Fundamentals

While skincare is crucial for the overall well-being of patients with chronic conditions, it becomes even more essential for those dealing with chronic wounds. Despite its significant impact on both well-being and therapeutic progress, there is often a noticeable lack of knowledge and attention to this specific issue. Adequate skincare is not only crucial in later stages of life; according to current dermatological data, approximately 20% to 25% of the general population experiences symptoms of impaired skin function.

To better comprehend the intricate relationships, it is imperative to understand the fundamentals of the various functions and mechanisms of the skin. This knowledge enables the application of appropriate skincare measures tailored to the specific phase, skin type, and situation.
