The skin under the wafer is beginning to break down; red and irritated, several small raw spots, spreading daily. I don't know if this is from the removal wipes or the wafer, or what. The adhesive from the wax rings is HORRIBLE to get off, although Sharon's advice about oil is helping. Which disolvant do people prefer to remove the oil? Right now pretty much everything hurts.
New bad this morning and I'm already itching and in pain from all the raw spots... Am leery to call the ostomy nurse as she warned me last time that there was nothing else they could do but re-do the stoma surgically (almost completely stenotic). My surgeon doesn't want to do that as it will delay the pouch advancement surgery to fix the @!#%$ fistula. I hate going to the hospital, especially on the weekend, when there's nothing they can do anyway.
Any thoughts?
