I had my colectomy and surprise colostomy on May 6th of this year. It went necrotic and receded dangerously deep! I had a revision on June 6th. It is now healthy and bright pink/red! My issue is, Fred (yes, I named it lol) is an inny. A deep inny. I use deep convex flanges, but the poo still finds its way underneath and causes skin breakdown. It has delayed my chemo, and I've tried several ways to keep this from happening. My ostomy nurse has exhausted her ideas as well. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would be most grateful for any advice or positive experiences. Thanks 🩷

Great place for newbies to learn, I have helped many folks on here learn to irrigate, plus learned a few tricks myself. Great informative site.
