Skin breakdown with an ileostomy

     By skin breakdown, do you mean redness and itchiness? 

first thing is you should to talk to your ostomy nurse about it. They may want to see it. some skin breakdowns are serious and need antibiotics to clear them up. If its just ulcerations you can try duoderm (from convatec) to help protect the skin as well as powders and such. It really depends on what the diagnosis is. I've taken the advice of polishdan from here and used Friar's balsam oil on my skin irritations. (which was a sore reddish spot, cleared up in just a week) definitely talk to your nurse though since its better to be safe than sorry. Hope you are able to get it cleared up quick!

It spreads out and under the adhesive. I called Cleveland Clinic and they said to use lotramine antifungal spray. Have any of you tried that?
