Need Advice for Indent Challenges with Stoma Bag

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person seeking advice for challenges with their stoma bag due to indented scars on the right side of their stoma caused by an abdominal wall abscess. They are looking for solutions to prevent leaks and keep the bag in place without opting for surgery to move the stoma.

Advice and Insights:
1. Consider consulting a WOC Nurse for specialized assistance.
2. Use pieces of Eakin rings to fill the gaps and form them to fit the indented areas.
3. Try using Adapt Paste to fill the indented area before placing the base plate or one-piece bag.
4. Consider using Hollister products, cutting pieces and layering with paste in between each layer to seal around the sides.
5. Utilize a half-moon piece of Eakin seal to address dips in the skin at the bottom of the stoma.
6. Use a moldable ring on the skin and put a ring of paste on the adhesive side of the wafer around the stoma to fill in voids.
7. Consider using an Eakin 4 x 4 sheet to cut and fill the hole in the indented area.
8. Try using a 4x4 barrier on the skin and then placing the pouch on top of it to see if it works.
9. For deep recesses, use a small dab of paste at the bottom, cut a strip of flange to fit the indent, and smooth over the surface with a little more paste to provide a durable, flexible surface for the appliance to stick to.
