Also, get yourself a tube of ilex Protectant Paste; I often say it is best to have ilex paste and not need it, than need it and not have it.
I've had a Stoma for many years, during that time, I never experienced any issues in regard to skin erosion around the Stoma due to appliance leakage
After the creation of my J pouch and the Temporary loop illestomy, I endured agonising skin erosion around my Stoma.
At the time, my Stoma Nurse provided all kinds of sprays, creams, powders and potions and nothing worked, that is, until Jan, from this very forum recommended ilex Paste.
Within seconds of applying the ilex paste to the weeping, festering and oozing skin around my Stoma, I felt instant relief, due to its cooling effect and within days my skin was totally healed
I continued to apply the ilex Paste around my Stoma as a prevenative measure until takedown.
ilex Paste, once applied forms a barrier and protects the skin from Stoma output leakage, so rather than endure the pain and discomfort I did it's best apply the ilex Paste before skin erosion occurs.
