Due to the continuous fecal incontinence, irritative contact dermatitis with extended erosions developed in the gluteal region (fig. 2a). As the conventional zinc oxide-containing ointments (Neogranormon  and Sudocrem ) and other hydrophobic products (white petrolatum and mineral oil) were not effective, we applied a liquid barrier film (Cavilon 3M ) combined with Bepanthen Plus  ointment, in response to which the symptoms resolved after approximately 2 weeks (fig. 2b).
