Hello and thank you for posting.

I am sorry you're having problems with the adhesive from your stoma bag.

The best people to talk to about this are your stoma nurse, your specialist nurse, or your doctor as they will be more used to dealing with this.

Colostomy UK has some pages on its website which may be useful.

There is information online if useful for skin problems with stomas from St. Mark NHS Trust and the Coloplast company, but they may not be what you are looking for.

It may be that posting on the community forum for Bowel Cancer UK, or posting in the 'living with cancer' thread of this forum may get you ideas from the cancer community for what others do in similar situations.

Take care and do get back to us on the helpline to talk things through with one of the nurses. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

Sarah.
