It burns and stings, and hurts.... It's like my body is opening up next to my stoma. I don't know what to put on it. I tried a barrier wipe, but my skin broke out with an itchy rash. It seems like I have an allergic reaction or burning from anything I try to use. This morning, I changed my appliance (1-piece system) and put antibiotic cream in the wound, but I can feel that my appliance is not sticking in that spot and leakage is occurring. Ugh. Any ideas?
