Skin irritation around the stoma

@susanf8 Thanks for putting up that Convatec site. I've used the Eakin seals since the beginning according to how the nurse taught me, that is applying the ring directly to the flange and turtle-necking it, but I think putting it straight to the stoma, as the video shows might well be better.

I did not know about the Eakin StomaWrap variety of the seal. I could send for a free example. My hands don't work properly anymore. I suppose on the other hand, I could simply cut into a regular one and use it in the same way.

@piki I've applied the eakins both ways, on my skin, and pre applied to the appliance. I sort of go back and forth.

I use the stoma wrap. I tear it in half , and shape it into a ring or strip. It's been working really well for me!
