Folks I have a Nurse that is apprehensive of me taking a bleach bath for a rash on my back. This doctor has been spot on about everything about my j ouch for 15 years and I had no issues. He’s at a big time hospital in here Chicago but this baffles me. Have any of you see that as Problem sitting in bleach for a pouch. I do not have a rectum either. All that said not sure if it was the Doc who answered my question or the nurse. All I know is the nurse responded. Thoughts please?

Did a different doctor recommended the bleach bath, or is this more of a home remedy?
Dermatologist did yes
I can’t see the connection. It is not as if you are doing bleach enemas or drinking bleach!

Gosh - what are the chances of finding another poor guy that has a J Pouch and was recommended to soak in a bleach bath. I am kinda that guy. I got MRSA - a super bug that infected my stomach skin post surgery and I sat in a bleach bath every night for ten nights because the antibiotics were not working. My J Pouch was fine created but not hooked up. I did the bleach baths with my leaky loop ileostomy and it was fine. I can’t see why the J Pouch would be effected. Maybe if you have butt burn. I will tell you the bleach bath was tough for me mainly due to the fumes. It did kill the MRSA.
