Re: [The Ileostomy Group] itching

Hi Connie ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
as your healing you will experience some itching , however you must refrain
from scratching
if it itching is under the wafer then it will eventually go away ,, but if
its around the wafer , then i use a warm damp washcloth after a few min it
goes away ,,,,also when i have certain foods i start to get the feeling of
skin crawling only in the area of my appliance.
Good Luck !!!
i have been since 1994

to the
wafer after this long? Anyone have any ideas? I use a Natura Durahesive Fix
Barrier.
