This topic is about dealing with itching that occurs beneath the mesh adhesive of a Coloplast two-piece ostomy system. If you're experiencing this kind of discomfort, you're not alone, and there are several strategies you might find helpful:

1. Consider changing the flange style. Some people have found relief from itching by switching from the Coloplast "soft" flanges with tape to the more rigid version (Coloplast #12716). You can usually request free samples from Coloplast or your supplier to try this out.

2. Try removing the tape. If the tape is causing irritation, you might want to trim it off the flange and use an ostomy belt for added security instead.

3. Make sure to remove adhesive residue completely. Any leftover adhesive can irritate your skin, so using a chemical adhesive remover can help prevent this issue.

4. Treat itching as a potential leak warning.
- If you start to feel itchy, it might be a sign of a minor leak, so consider changing your appliance right away, even if you usually get 4-5 days of wear.
- Ignoring the itch, especially overnight, could lead to a blow-out.
- A good rule of thumb is, "If you can feel it, it’s not right."

5. Consider trying different products. One person mentioned having consistent success and minimal itching with Hollister products, so switching brands might be worth exploring.
