I currently use the Hollister brand wafers and had surgery for ileostomy in October 2012. My stoma has shrunk in both diameter and length, and recently I noticed leakage problems around the stoma. I have not been using the wax ring, but if anyone could give me feedback on the wax ring and how to counter this leaking problem. The leakage is not getting outside the wafer, but it is starting to irritate my skin.
