Stoma powder is an ostomy accessory that can be used with colostomy bags, ileostomy bags, or urostomy bags. Stoma powder is ideal to use if your skin is broken or irritated. It will help your skin heal by absorbing excess moisture from the skin. This creates a dry surface for your wafer to adhere to. Stomal output or ostomy pouch leaks can cause the stomal skin to become red or irritated. This broken skin is not only painful, it makes it difficult for the ostomy wafer to adhere to the skin. This causes more leaks. This is a cycle that causes a lot of problems for ostomates. Stoma powder is a helpful product that can help break this cycle. Keep in mind that if you are not having any peristomal skin issues, stoma powder will not provide any benefit to you.
