does anyone have any thoughts on an itchy sore stoma. It’s driving me mad because I can’t get at it when my bag is on. The peristomal skin is not sore or irritated just the base of the stoma where it meets the skin.

A convex barrier may provide a more secure and predictable seal between your pouching system and your skin, which can help prevent stoma fluid leakage.
