The ET nurse gave me a great tip. If you’re having irritation or weeping from the adhesive, which is very common with new ostomys. She said use a thin,
coat of Sween cream. Use a hair dryer to assist drying before applying
A skin prep wipe. I’m 33 years post op,… my skin is just dandy…

@rxjoey I've never heard that one before! Good to know.

Back in 1987 I was shown how to use Mylanta or Maalox, dab the liquid on, and blow dry it before sealing it in with barrier wipe.

What other tips do you have?
