itching

I've had my stoma for about 6 months now and so far no problems. Just lately I
have
started to have a lot of itching around the wafer and when I change my wafer
it itches
so bad I want to take a brillo pad and scratch it. Could I be having a
reaction to the
wafer after this long? Anyone have any ideas? I use a Natura Durahesive Fix
Barrier.

Connie
