I am in Ecuador, and my skin barrier starts leaking about 2 hours after it is applied, and in about 10 hours it is starting to fall off

I can only think of one thing that you are using products to clean yourself that have a moisturizer in them when you bathe or change and wash yourself. Hope you find a solution
I have an Illeostomy and that would be a disaster for me.
Hope you find an answer.

Hi I live in Malta and it can get very hot and humid in the summer
yet I never had that problem. Could be as my previous member suggested. Do not use any products you never used before.
