Can a Hernia Cause a Rash from Bag Tugging?

does anyone think that a rash can form under the bag because it’s being tugged at from a hernia

Booters, Honestly don't know but it seems tugging would cause discomfort from tightness and a rash is usually the result of some outside interference like  an allergy or leak.  I have had a rash around the stoma, and crusting works for many folks, but I myself use anasept from anacapa technologies.  It can be found on jet.com.  I receive nothing from the company for passing along this data, but this stuff kills bacteria like CDIFF AND MRSA and nothing else on the market does that.  I use the gel when I change set up applying on the rash and allowing to sit for a moment before making sure it is all rubbed in or wiped off before using a  barrier wipe for adherence of the wafer/bag.  If I need a clean up I use the anascept in spray form, allowing it to dry before continuing.

Good Luck

I had the same thing and talked to my nurse about it.  She said that was because of Moisture between the bag and my skin which will cause a fungus like Athlete's Foot.  I take a shower every day so she said make sure I use a hair dryer to dry the bag and the wafer.  

So here is what I do.   Everyday I place a dry bag on.  Meaning the first day everything is new. The second day when I take a shower I rinse out the bag and let it dry for the next day replacing it with one I already rinsed out.  Each bag will be used twice.  Make sure you blow dry the wafer.

I also used Athlete's Foot powder to help get rid of the rash.  Since I'm putting a dry bag on daily after my shower I don't seem to have this probelm anymore.  Also It does help to use the panties that have a pouch at least in the summer to help with moisture.

I hope this helps!
