Hi, I have had an ileoatomy for 2 weeks now following colon cancer surgery. Despite fluctuating between liquid and semi solid output, I have had no problems with the stoma until today. The bag has leaked via the seal directly under the stoma. So the output is leaking underneath rather than into the bag. Needless to say the skin is now quite sore. This has happened 3 times today and I don’t know what to do. I haven’t had this problem before.
