When I changed out my skin barrier today I realized that I forgot to wipe around the area with the barrier wipe before putting everything back on. Will this cause a problem or will it be ok for this time??

freedancer,
You should be fine. It may be a little more difficult to get the flange off when it's time to change or the skin may be slightly more irritated, but other than that, no biggie.

Sincerely, I forgot a couple of times to apply the barrier. I don't know about the others but in my case, my skin was ok after the next change.
Have a good day!
