I am also suffering from butt burn and itch...never heard of anryone trying the barrier wipes but I would be willing to try anything, let me know how it works for you.

 

Hmmm, I don't know; never tried it.

 

I can tell you that the last ostomy nurse I had was not a fan of many of the barrier wipes, as she felt they would eventually have a reverse effect on the skin and make things more sensitive. She was very careful about which ones she used and recommended.

 

Would hate to do anything that makes BB more sensitive!  In theory, though, it sounds like it may work. Let us know what happens.

It seems like that might work.  I've never tried it, but Calmoseptine and A&D have kept me burn free so far.  I've been eating salsa and other spicy stuff too.

I've never tried it, but like Ginlynn, my ostomy nurse was also not a fan of the barrier wipes. She felt they were overdrying to the skin which could eventually lead to more irritation. That feels like a strike against them for me, but you could always give them a try sparingly and see how it goes!

 

I still occasionally get butt burn, irritation, and hemorrhoids. Calmoseptine is my go to for all 3.

Used leftover Lanolin cream (for nursing moms; for breast tenderness) on my daughter's diaper rash back in the day. Cleared it up fast. They actually market it for diaper rash, too. Never used it on myself, but worked like a champ on her. It's kind of sticky, though, but creates a waterproof barrier. Always worth a shot, if nothing else works.

I'm surprised no one uses the regimen I have used for over ten years to control butt burn.  I use Convetec Aloe Vesta foam on toilet paper.  Works like a charm.

these are brilliant wipes. im not sure if they are sold in the US.

Hello!  Sorry, I was the original poster and I said I would follow up, then forgot to do so.  Anyway!  I ended up thinking that the wipes were fine. For me, they are preferable to having a creamy ointment there. Though the ointments do work great, as a new poucher at the time, I most craved just a pain free, DRY, bottom. You know, one of those things that people have no idea to be grateful about. :-)

So I switched to Caldesene (zinc plus talc) powder. It feels dry and comfy, especially in the hot weather, and it seals out moisture pretty well.

Just my experience. :-)
