Hi Alex
My husband has a Urostomy. He to wondered about cleaning around his stoma knowing any soap with cream or lanolin you can't use. Our Ostomy Group we belonged to at the time sent our Newsletters and in it
was a doctors comment on what he does, he is an Urostomate since 1980. I was trying to find his article but was unsuccessful but this is what my husband does after he read the article.
So with his Urostomy he lost his bladder so he pees into the pouch. When its the day he is changing his applicance he does so in the shower. The Doctor talked about having many perstomal skin problems caused from seepage. The Doctor
found relief for skin problems using an antibacterial gel-Dial Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer. My husband luckily didn't have skin issues but wanted the area cleaner so he tried the foamy soap and has been using it for 9 years without any
problems. You can find the Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer anywhere. We live in Ontario Canda so I buy it at Shoppers Drug Mart. It's worth a try.
Good Luck
Ostomate Spouse since 2013
