Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to try a different barrier. I've always used a Hollister 2 piece and it works really well, but I've had this itching since the beginning. It's horrible, and sometimes I can't wait to change it so I can scratch 🤣

If your bag is stinging you around your stomach, it is due to the acid leaking. Try a skin barrier wipe to help it stick to your skin. Don't eat jalapenos; the seeds will lodge under your wafer. Try a Convatec two-piece system with Flex Flange. I've used it for 30 years. I'm 56 years young. Hope this helps.
