Re stoma

Hi Amelia. Can't offer any help, but just wishing you a speedy and comfortable recovery. Best wishes.

Hi Amelia,This can happen.I was given some special wipes by the stoma nurse when I had an area that was sore.Sometimes the removal wipes can irritate too.I only use water to wash around the stoma.Tell your stoma nurse and hopefully they will be able to advise on what’s best.It is all a bit trial and error,a bit like choosing the right stoma bag.I hope it settles soon.Love Jane xx

Ok thanks Jane, by the way do you use a stoma cover to stop bag touchi g your skin? If so does it help? As I think part of problem is I get too hot and this maybe causing rash. 

Hi Amelia,I just have the bag.I don’t think getting hot helps.Perhaps you could post on the ileostomy,colostomy stoma support board and see if anyone has any tips to help ? I hope you can get it sorted.Love Jane x

Is that support board on here or another site? Jane x

It’s here on Macmillan Amelia,under the groups.x

Look under cancer experiences it’s ileostomy,colostomy stoma support

Ok thankyou
