Not all incontinent individuals develop IAD, suggesting that additional prognostic factors contribute to its onset. The quality of empirical evidence supporting risk factors for IAD development is moderate to very low.

This review presents the current knowledge on the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the treatment of various skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, systemic sclerosis, graft-versus-host disease, alopecia areata, and systemic lupus erythematosus. MSCs can modulate the immune response and release growth factors and cytokines that promote tissue regeneration and healing and reduce inflammation. In turn, EVs' ability to transport various biological molecules, including microRNAs (miRNAs), makes them potential therapeutic agents.

Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is a common inflammatory skin condition caused by direct cytotoxic effects of irritants on the epidermis. Topical corticosteroids, while effective for treating inflammatory dermatoses, may paradoxically induce adverse skin reactions when misused. This case highlights ICD triggered by self-administration of compound clobetasol propionate ointment, exacerbated by undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
