Hello all! I am right at 7 months post takedown and have a question regarding our beloved "butt burn". First of all, my issues with butt burn have gotten better over the last 7 months... Should I continue to expect improvement? I still use calmoseptine daily as a preventative, but there are still times where my rear gets very irritated (I suspect it's the cheap toilet paper at school - I'm a teacher and have lots of long days at school and the TP seems to aggravate my already sensitive behind!). Any thoughts on some portable options to help this? At home, I use a travel bidet to keep clean with minimal wiping, but this is not a great option while at work.
Also, the other day while cleaning out the last of my ostomy supplies, I came across the barrier wipes that I used around my stoma. The thought occurred to me that I might be able to use these barrier wipes to create a film around my anus to help keep the area clean. Has anyone tried this and had any luck? I'm just curious if it would work or if it ends up being a big mess?! Any success/failure stories with this would be great to hear!
Hope everyone is well!
