I don't use any seals but i have gotten in touch with holister about other problems and they were very helpful. A lot of people have ostomy nurses they see about problems. good luck

I use barrier rings if I am having skin problems. There are no sting wipes, they leave a bit of a film like a topical seal on the irritated part of the skin.
I put the barrier ring on the sticky part of my pouch, smooth it over the hole to the stoma, use the barrier wipes on the skin. Allow for the barrier ring to almost melt on your skin once you put your pouch on so that it will bond to your skin. I usually get relief by the next bag change.
