Peristomal skin sore but no evidence of leaking

Postby Steph20021 » Wed Nov 04, 2015 7:43 pm

I am 3 months out from when I got my ileostomy back and I am frequently having sore skin without any evidence of leaks. I am using the ring barriers that you shape with your hands and Using powder and spray to make a fake scab over sore looking areas, and I just changed appliance yesterday morning and it's sore already. Feeling bummed. Out of ideas to try. Anyone have a clue?
