Raw Skin Around Stoma - Seeking Advice for Mom's Repeated Issues

Topic Explanation:
Carol is seeking advice for her mom who is experiencing repeated issues with raw bleeding skin around her stoma.

Advice and Insights:
- The hole on the stoma bag needs to be smaller to reduce the sore.
- Use stoma powder to help reduce the sore and clean with a wet water wipe, then dry with a cool hair dryer.
- Consider using stoma seals before applying the bag and a soft convex stoma bag.
- Using a different adhesive bag, such as one containing Aloe Vera, can be beneficial for the skin.
- Consider using calamine and crusting, or switching from Eakin seals to silicone.
- Crusting involves using powder and an alcohol-free barrier wipe.
- Consider using Appeel flange remover and plain water to keep the skin healthy and clear of any issues.
- Contacting an ostomy nurse to figure out the cause and get their opinion is important.
- It's recommended to check out articles and resources on stoma and surrounding skin problems to narrow down the cause and find solutions.
- Be patient and remember to protect the skin from output to prevent damage.
