Hiya,
wipe/wash et.c, gently, (your stoma will bleed easily) dry with
soft absorbant tissues and use a skin barrier protection around your
stoma edge, it gives like a thin 'plastic' film to stop 'stuff' getting to your skin.
Look up cavilon barrier film 3344.
Best wishes,
steve

Also you can try compound Benzoin tinture, its a skin protection and cost is cheap as you apply it with a Qtip and it goes a long long ways.. Can buy at a walgreens or probably most drug stores can get it for you if you ask , they got mine in the next day..
