Hi everyone can someone give me advice on how to help my husband who had surgery over a year ago. Because of chrohns disease his colon had to be removed and for him it's been down hill every since. Because of the irregularities in his skin surrounding his stoma there have been so many leaks. Sometime he uses up to 5 bags a day. He has tried everything suggested to him by the wound care nurse but nothing seems to work. His skin is almost raw. And after a while seem like no one wants to help or can help any suggestions?
