Many of you know that I was having a huge issue with red, raw, bumpy, and itchy skin around my stoma. I was given the Marathon No Sting Skin Barrier to see if it would work to heal me up. It turns out that after a month of using it, I am allergic to it. It made the issue much, much worse. I stopped using it after the 30 days, which I felt was a long enough period of time to accurately gauge if it was going to work for me. My advice to those who try it, watch your skin symptoms carefully. Also, it is very hard to remove with the adhesive pads, which can add to irritation from rubbing harder than normal.
