Red Weepy Skin at Stoma/Skin Junction - Need Solutions

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a user experiencing red weepy skin at the stoma/skin junction and seeking solutions to address the issue.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider using a bigger circumference on the flange hole to ease irritation at the stoma/skin junction.
- Try using stoma collars or thicker, sanded down baseplates for comfort and to reduce irritation.
- Use zinc oxide cream or butt paste for red irritated skin, rinse it off, and then apply a bag.
- Consider using desoximetazone gel for recurring infections at the stoma/skin junction.
- Apply Stomahesive in a bead using a syringe and put a Karaya ring on top for prevention.
- Dry the skin with toilet paper, apply stomahesive paste on the sore spot, and then put the wafer on.
- Use Nystatin cream around the edge of the stoma and the skin, then apply stoma powder and a skin barrier over it.
- Keep the skin dry to protect it with a barrier film or AF cream and treat any infections first.
- Apply Nystatin around the stoma and leave it on, then proceed with normal routine.
- Consider using calamine lotion or Convatec's Stomahesive paste for the weepy skin.
- Switch to Convatec products if using Hollister and consider using a different flange.
- Use Adapt barrier rings and crust the area well before applying the barrier.
- Consider using osteomyelitis powder to dry the area and cure the red skin.
- Use liquid Nystatin after a Head N Shoulders "rub and remove" to reduce weepiness.
- Consider using O'Keefe's on the skin outside where the barrier ring sits for moisturization without affecting adhesion.
