I have suffered from repeated irritation, blisters, etc. under my ostomy pouch. The crusting method is okay when it's not bad, but
I have found the holy grail for me and would love to share!
I get the POWDER spray Lotrimin (make sure to not get the liquid spray) and when I change my pouch, I spray it all over- then pat it with my no-sting barrier wipes- it has worked wonders. Basically, for irritation, I was told to use miconazole powder, which is used for athlete's foot and other lovely things. But the powder just falls off. The spray powder stays in place and gives a cooling sensation! Works great!
