Hernia belt causing irritation and itchiness - need help!

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person experiencing severe irritation, redness, and itchiness from wearing a hernia belt 24/7 for a peristomal hernia. They are seeking suggestions to alleviate the discomfort.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider leaving off the hernia belt during the night to see if it improves the irritation and itchiness.
- Research and consider trying different types of hernia belts, such as Ostomy Armor and Stealth Belt, to find one that provides better support and is more comfortable.
- The irritation and itchiness could be due to an allergy to the material or elastic of the hernia belt, especially when exposed to warm, salty human sweat over many hours.
- Try placing dry wipes under the affected areas to alleviate the irritation and itchiness caused by the hernia belt.
- It's a learning curve to find the right products that work well with individual sensitivities, and it may require trying different options to find the best fit.
