Listen to Your Body
From time to time, your skin will become irritated if you don’t care for it properly. An example of this is choosing the wrong skin lotion that may be heavy in #aromatics for a particular “smell”. Most of the time, these things aren’t meant to be on human skin, yet we do it for the smell for whatever reason. The same goes for cleaning your body with certain #products that may be extremely bad for your stoma.
Well, skin around your stoma can become irritated as well if you’re not careful. Whenever you’re changing out your ostomy gear, it’s best to make sure you’re doing the right things to ensure that no irritation occurs. And one of the best things you can do is to clean properly and make sure your supplies fit. You always want to practice proper ostomy care, right? Then follow along with what we’re saying.
So when it comes to using #adhesive #products for your ostomy cleaning routine, there are some that come in the form of cement or spray. These could be flammable and may contain latex, so it’s good to look at all your options. Nonetheless, adhesives are used to increase the stickiness between your skin and your pouching system.
Still, they’re not used very often, so you should follow directions closely and not over use them. Only a light even coating should be used in the first place, and give it time to dry thoroughly before you apply your system. Since many don’t have to dry for almost five minutes, just be patient and let it dry so it won’t hurt your skin.
From there, some of your options include using a skin barrier powder, which is used to heal away parts of your skin that may be irritated. Otherwise, powder isn’t hardly used by most patients. Thorough ostomy care dictates that you need to pay attention to your body, so don’t ever use products that aren’t agreeing with your skin. Form there, a powder should be dusted lightly over the area that is irritated.
Practicing good care for your skin is easy so long as you pay attention to what it’s telling you. If you avoid listening to your body, it’s a good way to get hurt or remain uncomfortable far longer than you need to. Clean the proper areas when they need cleaning and you’re well on your way to a healthy ostomy routine.
