I have had a lot of trouble with leaks. My doctor, instead of fixing my hernia, cut 6 inches off my small intestine. And she didn't do it right, so now my stoma is either at skin level or below skin level. When it is working, it sticks out a bit. So now I cannot wear those rings anymore, because they are too thick and leak underneath them. So now I wear stoma paste around my stoma. Anyway, my question is this: My skin is in bad shape. I bought the 3M Cavilon durable barrier cream. https://www.canmeddirect.ca/3m-3392c-ea-cavilon-durable-barrier-cream-fragrance-free-resist-wash-off-92-grams.html. It says that tape will stick to it, but I am worried it won't. So I was thinking I could put skin prep on top of it to help make my bag stick on more securely. But I am also worried that the skin prep might not stick to it. I don't have a lot of money trying everything out to see if it works or not. So if someone that might use this product or has any info that might help me, then please get a hold of me. Thank you, everyone, for whatever help and time you take for helping me. Take care and have a nice day.
