This topic is about using a mini fan to help dry the stoma area during appliance changes. This can be particularly useful for those who need a portable solution when they are away from home.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. A very small fan, measuring about 2.5 inches by 3.75 inches (or 65 mm by 95 mm), can be used to dry the stoma area. This is especially handy for quick changes when you're not at home.

2. While a hair dryer is effective for drying the stoma area, it is not practical to carry around for emergency changes. The mini fan offers a convenient, pocket-sized alternative.

3. To use the mini fan effectively, wrap the stoma in gauze and run the fan until the skin is completely dry. This helps prevent fungal growth and ensures that wafers or seals stick properly.

4. If you're at home, a hair dryer can be a good option for drying the area, but remember it's not as portable as the mini fan for when you're out and about.
