<unk>  caused by bandage<unk>  is defined as the softening and breaking down of<unk>  resulting from prolonged exposure to moisture. It was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot in 1877.<unk>  is caused by excessive amounts of fluid remaining in contact with the<unk>  or the surface of a wound for extended periods.<unk>  often occurs with the application of a bandage to a wound, regardless of its mildness or severity. This occurs because the<unk>  under the bandage becomes wet due to perspiration, urine or other bodily fluids. The excess moisture is sometimes called hyperhydration. One may also notice<unk>  after wearing non-breathable plastic or latex rubber gloves, which trap moisture against the<unk> . Wrinkles are the first sign that the<unk>  is over-hydrated. In addition, macerated<unk>  becomes extremely soft and takes on a whitish appearance. However, this white<unk>  should not be confused with the pale, whitish appearance of the new epithelial tissue in a healing wound. Although most<unk>  clears up quickly once the<unk>  is exposed to fresh air and allowed to dry, sometimes<unk>  that experiences long periods of<unk>  is vulnerable to fungal and bacterial infection. As opportunistic organisms affect the area, it may become itchy or develop a foul odour.
