I've been following this thread and it sounds like contact dermatitis. Others that had the issue in my support group have had good success using a hair dryer after showering to ensure the area is completely dry before attaching the barrier.

I also use a dryer every time I change the appliance — warmth helps seal the wafer/barrier/flange to your skin.
