Skin care

Colostomy UK does not recommend individual companies or their products. The following is a selection that may assist in the management of your condition.

Good skin care is a crucial part of any stoma care routine, because it will help maintain a healthy skin around your stoma and assist in successful stoma bag adhesion. Broken, red or sore skin may increase the risk of leakage and further skin damage. Left unattended, the skin condition may worsen, leading to discomfort for you and difficulty in getting your appliance to stick.  Read more about sore skin and leakage: colostomyuk.org/information/stoma-problems/sore-skinleakage
