My stomach is swollen and hard where the appliance is attached. I am using Hollister pouch #18324 (new image) with Hollister Skin Barrier 14204 (new image). The material is cloth, not plastic, which is much better, but I do not understand why my stomach is hard in this area. Does anyone have an answer? I have been wearing an appliance for about one year now. My appliance is attached on the left side, and on the right side, my stomach is soft in comparison to the left side.
