Don't know what else to do. I had a huge leak about 3 weeks ago that left a huge chunk of my peristomal skin like raw meat, weeping etc. after a bunch of trial like crusting, etc etc, nothing would stick because it kept weeping. Finally I put stoma powder , calcium alginate pads and covered it and it worked. Well now all of the sudden ( no leaks ) I have some red spots that are weeping like crazy, now NO tape sticks to me when I ALWAYS used Tegaderm and could have it on for 5-7 days easy. Now as soon as I go to the shower it starts to peel off baam all wet underneath. Barrier extenders, sure seal rings, all types of skin preps, nothing. How da heck I'm going to heal this if I can have it on 1 full day 😡😡. Stupid ileostomy
