Gentle skin care for everyday stoma management
Looking after the skin around your stoma can help you feel more comfortable and support a better bag fit. Healthy skin allows your stoma bag to adhere properly, which may help reduce leaks and make bag changes easier. If your skin becomes sore, damaged or irritated, using products designed for stoma care can help protect the area and support recovery.
Skin protection products create a thin protective layer between your skin and stoma output or adhesives. Barrier wipes and sprays are commonly used before applying a new bag, while protective creams can help soothe dry or irritated skin when used as directed. Adhesive removers help loosen the bag adhesive, allowing it to be removed more gently without pulling or damaging the skin.
Everyone’s skin is different, so finding the products that work best for you may take a little time. If you are experiencing ongoing skin problems, your stoma care nurse can help identify the cause and recommend the most suitable products for your needs.
