This topic is about dealing with skin rashes that can occur under an ostomy pouch, especially during hot weather. The person who started the discussion has found that using an antifungal cream helps treat the rash once it appears, but they are looking for ways to prevent it from happening in the first place. Here are some helpful tips and insights shared by others:

1. Try applying an underarm antiperspirant to the area of skin that tends to sweat under the pouch. This can help reduce moisture and friction, which are common causes of rashes.

2. Use Z Absorb antifungal powder on the area, avoiding the wafer zone. This over-the-counter product is effective for dealing with heat rashes and can be particularly useful in skin folds.

3. Consider switching to a different pouch system, such as the Coloplast SenSura Mio. This system is small, has a textile cover, dries quickly after showers, and is lightweight. These features may help reduce rubbing and moisture, which can contribute to rash formation.
