I have had an ileostomy for two and a half years and have never had any problems. However, recently under the tape that is part of the Hollister appliance, I have been starting to have a lot of itching and burning. I have used fungal powder before installing the appliance. The burning and itching is not under the flange. It is not due to leakage. I've never had leakage at all. But under the tape, I have skin that is very itchy and burning. Not sure if it's possible to develop an allergy even after a couple of years. Any ideas?
