Hi everyone. This is about my husband. He has a colostomy. It's permanent and it's new. Just about a month now. It's not flush with the skin so we use convexity appliances, but we are out right now and only have the flat ones. Any tips on how to help? I read something about blowing in the bag before you put it on? Any advice would be appreciated. Also, his output is really pasty which isn't helping. Anything work to harden it up? Thanks.
