I've had my ileostomy for 2 years. My skin is super sensitive. The adhesive causes my skin to break down. It weeps and even bleeds. Once a week, I have to put an Aquacel bandage with Duoderm to allow it to heal. Right now, it was so bad I'm on oral Prednisone. If anyone has had a similar issue and has a good suggestion, I would love a better way to deal with this. My ostomy nurses are scratching their heads on this one.
