Help Needed: Solutions for Stoma Adhesion Issues

This topic is about dealing with the challenge of stoma adhesion issues after undergoing a hernia or prolapse repair. The person is experiencing difficulty because their skin has become irritated and damaged, making it hard for any products to stick properly. Here are some helpful suggestions to address this situation:

1. Start by clarifying your current setup. Specify the exact pouching system you are using, including the bag and wafer, as well as any powder and skin-barrier wipe or spray. This information will help others provide more targeted recommendations.

2. To help adhesives bond again, calm and dry the skin using aluminum acetate powder. This can be particularly useful for irritated skin. Here’s how you can do it:
- Consider using products like Domeboro® Astringent Solution Powder Packets or a similar generic brand from the pharmacy.
- Follow the package directions to mix and apply the solution. Initially, use it several times a day, then gradually reduce the frequency as your skin begins to heal.
- Look for savings opportunities, such as a $4 coupon available on Domeboro’s website, and keep an eye out for discounts like the 40% off coupons that CVS often emails.
