Reply to "Skin irritation around stoma"

Baked, peeled apple slices work great for bulking up output, as well.  I've heard people recommend calamine lotion for skin irritation/soreness.  Dab a little bit on, apply skin barrier wipe/spray on top (or not), and apply wafer.  I've tried it and it seems to help.  Also, I've found that if you have little dips/dimples in any area close to/around the stoma, be sure to cover those or fill those in with small bits of paste or pieces of ring.  The skin around the stoma needs to be even or the output will find it's way to any little valleys or dips and the burn begins.
