Hi All, I have been trying the Dermacol stoma collars as I have constant bleeding and soreness on the skin at the bottom of the stoma and thought it might stop that! The trouble I have is that I have a loop ileostomy and have a small opening at the left side of the stoma and the adhesive base of the collar covers it! I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I seem to build up a lot of gas almost as if I’m plugging the hole! Sorry to be so graphic but I wondered if anyone had a tip for a way round this as I think the collar would stop the soreness I get! Thanks! Marilyn.
