Seeking advice for skin irritations with retracted innie stoma

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice for dealing with skin irritations caused by a retracted innie stoma, which is causing issues with skin irritations, sores, and blisters despite using a deep convex wafer, rings, and protection sheets.

Advice and Insights:
- Changing the equipment more often could help keep the skin clean and reduce irritations.
- The frequency of changing the equipment should be based on individual needs and skin health, not just a set schedule.
- Trying different barriers and flanges can help find a solution that works for the retracted stoma.
- Stoma powder can be effective for healing the skin.
- If all options have been exhausted and the issues persist, consulting a doctor for a potential stoma revision may be necessary.
- Some specific product recommendations include the Adpt Cera Ring Convex Barrier Ring and the Brava "Skin Barrier Wipes" for protecting the skin from waste.
