Regarding your stoma care, it sounds like you're dealing with a tough situation. It's important to keep the area clean and dry. You might want to try using a stoma powder to help with the irritation and bleeding. Also, consider reaching out to your healthcare provider to ensure there's no underlying issue that needs attention. They might recommend a specific barrier cream or treatment. Remember, everyone's skin reacts differently, so it might take a bit of trial and error to find what works best for you.
