Taking a Look at Skin

Taking care of the stoma and the surrounding skin is important. Keeping your patient’s skin healthy can go a long way to making them feel confident and comfortable with an ostomy.

In times like these, they may have a few unanswered questions about managing their skin at home. Therefore, we have put together some useful tips that provide patient guidance on maintaining the skin around their stoma healthy.

We also know that most people do not know when there is a problem and understanding what is normal and not normal can help minimise stress. The following guidance will also help your patients check their stoma and skin: it tells them what is normal and what is not normal.
