I also use a convatec pouch and find the stomahesive base wonderful for
my skin so I suggest you try a stomahesive weafer by convatec under
your appliance or just place some around the area of itching. You will
find that stomahesive is really healing for the skin. In Australia we
can get stomahesive wafers 10 cm x 10 cm order no 21712. I find them
invaluable to have on hand.
