Yes, a catheter can sometimes cause skin irritation or a rash. This may occur due to friction, moisture, or sensitivity to the materials used in the catheter or related products.
External catheters and adhesive components are more likely to affect the skin, while indwelling catheters may cause irritation around the insertion area. Individual responses can vary, so it is important to monitor skin condition and seek medical guidance if irritation persists.
