I am still having some trouble with skin under eakin sea. I was told to try zincofax for diaper rash as lon as it had 40% zinc. I changed bag last night and its not getting better. So I went and bought the cream. Now to wait for answers before next change . Before I try it. Hoping for some good suggestions

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.
