This topic is about someone who is preparing for an ostomy reversal surgery in just a few days but has developed a fungal skin infection around the stoma area. They are seeking advice on how to quickly manage this issue before their surgery. Here's what has been suggested:

- Use Flonase (fluticasone) spray directly on the affected skin to help reduce itching and inflammation.
- Apply miconazole antifungal powder to the infected area.
- Utilize skin-barrier wipes to protect the skin.

The person is also planning to change their pouching system daily to help clear the infection. They are reaching out to the community for any additional tips. Here are some more suggestions:

1. Consider asking your surgeon or dermatologist for an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole, which can help treat the infection from the inside. Some people have found it necessary to consult a dermatologist for this prescription.
2. After applying the antifungal powder, try to leave the skin exposed to air for a short time before putting the barrier and pouch back on. This can help the skin heal more quickly.
3. Many community members have shared their support and have had success with similar treatments, offering encouragement and reassurance.
