This topic is about resolving a skin irritation issue around a stoma, which is the opening on the abdomen for waste to leave the body after an ostomy surgery. The person who shared their experience found relief from a persistent skin irritation by making a few changes. Here’s what they did:

1. They switched to a new box of their usual wax seals, suspecting that the previous box might have been defective and caused leakage.
2. They increased how often they changed both the skin barrier and the seals.
3. They stopped eating after 6 p.m. to reduce the amount of output overnight.
4. They applied Miconazole Nitrate 2% topical powder, which was originally prescribed for another skin issue, around the irritated stoma area. The skin healed completely within two days, suggesting the problem was related to heat.

Additionally, they shared a helpful tip for those living in very hot climates, like where temperatures can reach 120°F. Staying indoors can help prevent heat-related rashes around the stoma.
