The topic is about using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to help heal a stubborn sore around a stoma that just won't close. The person who started the discussion is curious if anyone else in the ostomy community has tried this treatment and what their experiences were.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by the community:

1. After increasing care with barrier wipes and using stoma powder, the sore has shown some improvement. The person is still planning to talk to a hyperbaric doctor but hasn't heard back yet. They are looking for more tips to prevent or heal skin issues around the stoma.

2. General thoughts on HBOT:
- Some community members have seen HBOT help with other chronic conditions, like multiple sclerosis, and think the pressurized oxygen might help with various wounds, including those around a stoma, even though there's not a lot of strong clinical evidence yet.
- It's suggested to try HBOT if other treatments aren't working and to share the results with the community.

3. At-home skin-healing tips:
- Give your skin some "air time" by going without a pouch for longer periods at home. You can protect your clothes by using baby wipes or something similar held in place with your underwear.
- Keep the area dry by ensuring that any barrier ring or wafer isn't trapping moisture.
- Use aloe vera gel to soothe the sores.
- Stick with the current routine of using barrier wipes and lightly dusting stoma powder before putting on the appliance.
