Using Stoma Paste with Convex Pouch - Tips for Success?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who has an ileostomy using a convex pouch and is experiencing difficulty finding the right appliance. They are considering using stoma paste instead of a barrier ring and seeking advice on how to apply it successfully.

Advice and Insights:
- Apply stoma paste on the flange around the edge of the stoma hole, pat it down with a bit of water using your finger, and remove any extra that has come through the hole.
- Consider using a cyanoacrylate product called Marathon instead of crusting, applying only a light layer to avoid flaking off.
- If using a barrier ring, try pinching it into a wedge shape on the side closest to the appliance before application to allow the effluent to flow over instead of under the ring.
- When the skin is irritated, consider using non-adhesive barriers designed for such skin conditions.
- If the stoma paste is too thick, consider spreading it on the sore spot with a Q-tip.
- Seek advice from an ET nurse regarding the stoma's position and management issues.

Conclusion:
The forum discussion provided various tips and insights on using stoma paste with a convex pouch, including application techniques and alternative products to consider.
