Today is bag change day. We'll, I woke up late and was rushing this morning. I use a Hollister 2 piece system, and have never had any issues,until today. The entire area of the fabric base was really bothering me all day. Felt sore with a burning itch. Never have had that feeling before. Well I got home today and in my bathroom on the sink was the barrier wipe I always use, but today with rushing I forget that step. It clicked in my head, and I took everything off and my skin area from the stoma to where the fabric ended was bright red. Ouch! I let it breathe for a bit and then used a barrier powder and made sure to crust with a wipe. I'll never make that mistake again! I can't believe how quickly my skin was irritated. Hopefully the powder and the crusting do the trick. A reminder to slow the heck down, and pay attention to what I am doing.
Lesson learned!
