Peristomal wound: When i see a patient who has difficulties with peristomal wound or pain, i generally try to ascertain cause. Usually, if there is no underlying pathology, the skin is irritated by the adhesive. Using a hydrocolloid dressing beneath the adhesive may reduce the difficulties.

Peristomal Skin: Often times if the adhesive of the colostomy appliance is not flush against the colostomy stool will leak out from the colostomy onto the skin causing a severe burning and irritation of the surrounding skin. Always make sure that the colostomy appliance is flush with the colostomy without any exposed skin. Special creams and powders can also be used to help ease the burning.
