4 weeks after surgery and I now seem to be getting nappy rash from the pads that I'm having to wear. Nothing seems infected. Anyone else get nappy rash or any complications after having a Barbie bum installed? I feel like all I'm doing is worrying about it. Also, yellow seepage is coming from the wound still, but I've been told it's normal. I just can't seem to put my mind at ease. The stoma itself has hit me like a duck to water. It's really not bothered me at all, but this Barbie bum has me on edge all the time, looking out for infections, etc.
