Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about managing ostomy in hot weather, particularly addressing issues related to sweating, heat, and rash.

Advice and Insights:
- Use a thin layer of deodorant around the wafer of the pouch to help with sweating.
- Consider using pouch covers made of cloth to soak up excess sweat.
- For rash that may be yeast or fungal based, Lotrimin foot powder is recommended. It can be applied, followed by stoma powder and then the wafer, or just the Lotrimin alone.
- In hot and humid weather, be aware of electrolyte and sodium balance, and potassium levels. Drink electrolyte-rich drinks like Powerade Zero, eat potassium-filled foods, and hydrate well.
- Consider using cloth baby bibs to keep the bag off the skin and absorb sweat.
- For skin irritation and blistering caused by sweat under the adhesive of the wafer, Neosporin covered with a band-aid under the wafer can help heal the blisters.
- Some individuals have found that using stoma powder prevents the wafer from adhering well to the area where Lotrimin has been applied.
