over active stoma

Posted by David UK on 1/5/2008, 11:18 am

Tmy stoma is shrinking on a daily basis which is good. However my bags are sent pre cut and are always too big, leaving the skin around the stoma very sore and red after days when the stoma output is liquidy. This was compounded last night when I was changing my bag the stoma started outputting, and didn't stop for over 2 hours. I couldn't get the area dry quick enough to put new bag on and stick. After 5 bags I finally got it done. Although by this point I was exhausted, had stoma output everywhere and the skin was so painful I nearly was sick!!! I use silicon wipes on the skin and the powder. The wipes are brilliant but there was so much output the skin was just wet what ever I did.

Does anyone have any tips as to what to do when stoma outputting liquid like a waterfall mid bag change?
