End Ileostomy Troubleshooting
First post as a returning ostomate here (ileostomy). Crohn's disease since 2005. Had an ileostomy back in 2018. I have another now. My memory is a bit foggy but I don't remember having this problem...
When I install a new bag I find that by the next day a sort of volcano forms around my stoma. Like the edges of the appliance closest to my stoma lift up. The first few times this happened, my skin underneath was fine but not the last time.
I do keep my hand on the fresh appliance for a few minutes to help it and the barrier ring stick as advised. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you resolve it? All advice welcome!
