Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions and advice for my skin issue. I am happy to say that it is greatly improved. I have been changing out the skin barrier and seal a little more often and also started a new box of my wax seals. It appeared that I had gotten a bad box. As soon as I started using the new box, there was no longer any leaking. I also made a point of not eating past 6pm. I found some special powder that the doctor had given me for inflammation of my hysterectomy scar that was breaking out due to the heat and used it on the skin around the inflamed stoma and within two days the skin had cleared up completely. This told me that the issue was heat related for sure. You folks were a great help to me and I am very grateful. I hope you are all well. Pamela aka Freedancer
