A member asked:
What is intact skin? does dry skin or red skin count as intact if alcohol doesnt burn when its applied on the dry or red skin? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intact skin: This is a rather nonspecific term to describe skin that hasn't been breached or damaged by cuts, scrapes, or even inflammation as seen in dermatitis. If the skin is chapped,excessively dry or reddened, I would not consider it entirely intact.
