Peritoneal excoriation, often resulting from skin irritation or infection, requires careful management. First, keep the affected area clean and dry, using mild soap and water. Applying a barrier cream can help protect the skin from further irritation. If the excoriation is severe or shows signs of infection, such as increased redness or discharge, seek medical attention for potential treatment with topical or systemic medications.

What does a peritoneal ventricular shunt look like?

A peritoneal ventricular shunt is a medical device used to treat hydrocephalus by diverting excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the peritoneal cavity. It typically consists of a thin, flexible tube (catheter) that is surgically placed into the brain's ventricles and connected to a valve that regulates the flow of fluid. The other end of the tube is tunneled under the skin to the peritoneal cavity, where the fluid is absorbed by the body. The device is not visible on the outside and is typically implanted entirely within the body.
