Burning, Itching - Need Immediate Relief For Sore From Leakage

Apr 18, 2024 6:14 pm

I have a bad sore from leakage. While waiting for Marathon liquid adhesive to come in the mail, is there anything else I can do or an alternate product I can buy from, say, CVS?

Domboro soaks. It's a packet you mix with water. Make the solution and wet paper towels with it and lay them around the stoma and the area that's affected. Let it sit for a bit. It works wonders. My stoma nurse had me do it before.

Hi D

Get some micropore tape from the chemist and stick it over the wound site, then put the bag on as usual (tape goes between your skin and the bag). It should give you some relief until your supplies arrive. Get some moldable rings to try should it happen again.
