Skin problem and blow outs on bag edge

Posted by lrandall51 @lrandall51, Mar 6 11:48am

I am almost 6 months out of surgery. I have a rash around the stomach area where bag adheres to skin. Any suggestions?
Also. My stool seems to collect at the stoma and eventually pushes thru the seal of the bag. Any suggestions? I started using the lubricant and it seems to help. Trying to firm up stool as well. Thank you

Hi annpeters, I believe he’s referring to a product called Skin Tac liquid adhesive, by Torbot. I use it as well and it works so good at helping your appliance stick better to your skin. You can get it at Amazon , many online medical supply shops, and probably some drug stores near you, but definitely Amazon, that’s where I get it… between a good thorough cleaning drying , using Brava rings and using skin prep wipes…the addition of this skin tac adhesive gives me an average of nine days with my urostomy and 14 days with my Ileostomy.

Thank you for responding! I am new on the site and just trying to navigate. So great to see a response so quickly. I’m impressed by the number of days you get with your ileostomy! I’m not familiar with the urostomy. But I’m betting that’s above average. All the best to you, my friend!

So with a urostomy u r dealing with urine…no stools? With stools there is a buildup of feces creating a pancake under the bag that eventually leads to a leak in the wall of the bag adhered to the skin. I am anxious to try the skin tac tho, to see if it helps with a colostomy.
