I'm hoping someone can help me. I've had my urostomy for 40 years. I'm 42. I thought I knew all the "secrets", but I found out I was wrong. My problem is severe irritation of the skin around my stoma. The area looks like a wet callus and hurts like a son of a gun (I described it to my wife as dripping alcohol on a scratch). It's driving me crazy. I've tried dry heat from a hair dryer, vinegar, Adapt powder.....no help. I use the ConvaTec Natura Flexible series. Any ideas? Thanks.
