Persistent rash under stoma wafer - Need help!

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person seeking help for a persistent rash under their stoma wafer. They have had an ostomy for 4 months and have been experiencing a rash for 2 months despite trying various remedies and techniques.

Advice and Insights:
1. Some individuals may be allergic to the adhesive on the wafer, and switching to waxy pectin-based wafers can help alleviate the rash.
2. Trying different manufacturers and requesting samples can help find a wafer that works best for the individual, as different brands may have varying levels of adhesion and compatibility with the skin.
3. Using Eakin rings can provide additional protection for the skin around the stoma.
4. Allergic reactions to modern materials can occur, and some individuals find relief by creating their own baseplate and using elastic belts to give the skin a break from the sticky wafers.
5. Corona ointment, found in farm stores, can be effective in treating rashes and skin irritations.
6. Taking a shower and allowing the water to run on the affected area, followed by towel-drying, can help alleviate the rash.
7. It's important to be patient and persistent in finding the right solution for the rash, as different remedies work for different individuals.
