Neonatal skin care: Developments in care to maintain neonatal barrier function and prevention of diaper dermatitis

Understanding the importance of the barrier function of the skin of preterm and term neonates is crucial in effective neonatal skin and diaper care. This literature search aimed to review the development of different practices in neonatal care to maintain skin barrier function, in turn preventing diaper dermatitis.
