I'm due for reversal in 5 days. My luck, I developed a fungal infection. My nurse recommended Flonase sprayed on the skin for the itch and inflammation, miconazole powder, and skin barrier wipes. I think I will change my bag every day in hopes that it will clear up before Monday. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please. If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to chime in. Have a wonderful day.

Also, ask for a Fluconazole pill or a few. I had to see a dermatologist to get it.

I am scheduled for my reversal on 12/4. All my pre-admin stuff is completed and my GI signed off on the clearance letter this morning. I am super excited and looking forward to not having a bag. I just hope all goes well and heals well so I don't wake up with a temp bag which will lead to yet another surgery.
I have learned a lot from this website and will continue to be on here even after surgery. To all the ostomates out there, keep your heads up and keep pressing forward. We all have good and bad days. Best of luck to you all.
I will be sure to post my progress after surgery. I'm praying for you all.

Hi B, if you can, after applying the antifungal, let your skin air out for a while if you can.
