Sore Skin Around Colostomy Due to Diarrhea - Need Suggestions

I have very sore skin around my colostomy due to diarrhea. I've tried Derma Gard wipes that sting. Any suggestions that help?

I would rub a small amount of Sudocrem on myself, then wipe over with a tissue and pop the bag back on. You could try an egg white if you haven't got any Sudocrem.

You should be able to get the string-free wipes.

If it is a barrier to protect the skin you are looking for, this is usually a winner.

Where to get the spray, please

My Ostomy Journey: Jearlean | Hollister

Probably Amazon.

Hi, Boudreaux's Butt Paste (diaper rash cream) works great. After I shower on the day I change the appliance, I dry the skin around the stoma and apply a film of it around the area. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, then wipe it off. It heals the skin and relieves itch and pain. Also, when I shower on days I change, I put some Head and Shoulders shampoo around the stoma. It also clears up any yeast, itching, and irritation. Best of luck!

The Cavilon spray is a very common ostomy product. I am in Oz, but you should find it readily available. Practice on the back of your hand first: two squirts, dries in seconds, less is more.

I got the spray and swabs on Amazon. I use this at every wafer changeout.

There's a website called Medical Monks that has it too.

Axl is right, this 3M Cavilon is great.
