Hello everyone, I am caring for my Mom who has just received (6 weeks ago) an emergency colostomy. This was completely unexpected and a life change for both my Mom and me. Her stoma sits in a bit of a bowl and leakage is causing very irritated peristomal skin. We have a great and very supportive ostomy nurse but are rarely making it over 30 hours between changes. We are using a Coloplast convex ring and a 2-piece Coloplast convex system. For skin irritation, we've had success with Marathon when the skin breaks down, but I typically use powder and skin prep. Does anyone have ideas to get us past 30 hours?
