Effective Home Remedies for Removing Stoma Adhesive

This topic is about finding effective and practical ways to remove stoma appliance adhesive using home remedies. Here are some helpful tips and insights:

1. Taking a warm shower without any coverings and washing with Dial or any soap that doesn't contain moisturizers can help loosen and remove the adhesive effectively.

2. Using household oils such as vegetable, mineral, canola, baby, coconut, or vitamin E oil can gently dissolve the adhesive and are safe for the skin.

3. If you need something stronger and your skin is not irritated, you can use small amounts of rubbing alcohol or nail-polish remover.

4. After using oils or solvents, it's important to wash the area with mild soap to remove any oily residue. This helps ensure that the new appliance adheres properly.

5. If you prefer using a commercial product, there are inexpensive sprays available that work well:
- Salts Healthcare Medical Adhesive Remover Spray is widely available in the UK.
- Hollister Adhesive Remover Spray is available in the US and can be ordered from MedicalMonks.com, although many insurance plans do not cover it.
