Need Help with Flat Stoma Adhesion

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person, Glenda, who is experiencing problems with leakage due to a flat stoma and is seeking advice on how to manage the issue while being away from home and without access to a stoma nurse or supplies.

Advice and Insights:
- Nothing will stick well to red weepy skin. Use a steroid cream or Mylanta on the affected skin before applying a regular wipe or spray on skin prep, then the flange/ring.
- Consider using skin barrier pads to protect the skin and attach the barrier to it.
- Some members offer to mail convex wafers or deep convex flanges to help with the adhesion issue.
- It's important to have the necessary supplies, and it's appreciated when others offer to help with providing them.
- A long-term ileostomy patient shares their positive experience and encourages not to fear, emphasizing that life after the surgery has been much better.
