I had a temporary ileostomy in 2001. A year ago, I received a permanent ileostomy. The new stoma site is about two inches above my old stoma. There is a dent/pucker where my old stoma was, and so my flange doesn't want to stick. It stays fine, and my skin is good everywhere except that spot. In that area, it is constantly irritated and red. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
