Pardon the terms I use, I am very new to this, just had surgery six weeks ago.....I will try to make this fast, any help would be greatly appreciated....use a two-piece system, never had the actual bag blow out, but the stoma sticky cover, every day, two or three times, which makes really bad sores where the placement is, I have a few stretch marks (thank you kids ha ha) they are open and bleeding.....I use adapt paste on the sticky part of the place that goes over my stoma, I also have been using protective powder to try and heal the areas that are bleeding....any advice....got some great ideas for a guy on here, however, he is in the UK and some of the stuff I had no idea what it was.....please help, not leaving the house because I am worried about it happening....want my life back
