Hi, last year I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had an emergency operation and had a stoma and bag fitted. All has gone well so far. But I am having a small problem and was wondering if anyone had any advice. I use a two piece bag, a baseplate and a bag, recently the skin under the baseplate keeps getting irritated and red and sore, can anyone give any advice on what to do to help this and to stop it. The nurses keep saying just wash it with water and dry it. But this doesn't seem to be helping. Can anyone help. Elian.
