Advice needed

Hi everyone

My mum is having issues with skin sensitivity.
Her skin where it is in contact with the adhesive is getting very itchy. She has tried a few different products but I am wondering if anyone out there can offer any suggestions?
She is getting quite down about not being able to find the right product and fears she will have to deal with these issues for the rest of her life

Hi Lou_Lou

Itchy skin eh? OK, what products is your mom currently using? Adhesive remover, barrier spray, etc.

Has she changed anything - soap, lotions, detergents - even if these things don't get under the flange, I thought it might be worth asking.

Is she sweating more under her flange? Is it red or bumpy? Any chance this is yeast?

Hi

I am not too sure which products she is using to be honest, but I can find out.
She has had these issues the whole time so it's not just a new thing. Pretty sure she has mentioned redness, what would be symptoms of yeast?

I had ithcy skin around the stoma and it was red (probably because I scratched it!) and I am pretty confident it was the soap I was using around the stoma and not rinsing properly.

I us a non-irritating soap and really try to ensure I rinse very completely and dry before putting on the wafer.

Hope it helps!
