My WOCN suggested Head and Shoulders to use around the stoma. Hope this helps.

I use it to wash around my stoma. It works well to keep any irritation away.

I got Head and Shoulders to try. If nothing else, my stoma won't have dandruff.

A mermaid! They have natural protection, especially such an attractive one. But really, an ostomy nurse on this forum recommended that particular shampoo not for its dandruff-killing properties but for the zinc in it.

Dial soap works best for me. I don't keep the soap on very long during daily showers.
Although now retired, I always seem to be in a hurry to go nowhere.
