Hi,
I have developed a small rash just outside one side of the wafer of my stoma bag .under the wafer is fine.not itchy but just concerned incase it would affect reversal surgery.
Thanks in advance .
Niall
Hi NiallO I’m not sure how soon your reversal surgery is but you could ask your stoma nurse for advice re the rash or try some calamine lotion but make sure the wafer is still sticking?
Good luck with the reversal - lots of advice on here for afterwards
