Hair Removal Around Stoma - Any Tips?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on hair removal around a stoma. The original poster is considering different hair removal procedures and wants to know if there are any considerations they should take into account.

Advice and Insights:
- Use an electric bikini shaver as a non-invasive and effective method for hair removal around the stoma.
- Consider using Veet for longer-lasting hair removal compared to shaving, but be cautious as it may cause chemical burns.
- Seek advice from a doctor or ostomy nurse before considering laser hair removal around the stoma.
- Clean, smooth skin is essential for the barrier/wafer to adhere without gaps, so regular hair removal is important.
- Be cautious with products like Veet, perform a patch test first, and avoid leaving it on for too long to prevent skin irritation or burns.
