Great video! I'm currently trying to deal with irritation and weeping skin on the outer ring of the bottom of my wafer. I believe it's from the friction along the belt line, but I've been using calamine + cavilon spray to "crust" the area. I'll see if it's still improving tomorrow, but if it continues to be problematic, I may do the crusting technique using stoma powder + cavilon instead.
I only had my ostomy for 2 mths & bcuz severe skin breakout, weeping, redness around stoma started to use skin barrier. I either cut wafer 2 small or 2 big along with molding the barrier. Am becoming very frustrated, discourage. IS there any light at end of the tunnel? Any feedback will b honored. Thank you.
Ma786sai Dua God bless u I will try crusting the next time I change my bag. I have raw red open wet skin on the area directly below my stomach. I do hope it will heal the skin after few changes. Many thanks Cyrus

+Vegan Ostomy Thanks Vegan, I love your reviews!
Wow, my wound nurses in the hospital used it on good skin.
Thank you.
Thank you so much ! I'm a wound care nurse and trying to learn to care for ostomies to help patients with red or broken skin.
+mefrn62 Why dont you become ostomy certified too? Email me, I'll be glad to get you some info... joy@apronsbyjoy.com
I can't believe nurses have to learn this from RUclips.

Hope you got it sorted out, call your stoma nurse or manufacturer help line if you can't get anywhere ... don't try to do this alone!
