Event Description

The wife of end user reported that consumer ad red, open areas under appliance for about one month and he was treated with oral clindamycin and diflucan and condition was improving.At that time, they did not think the wafer was causing the issue and the areas was bigger.They were unsure of the cause and were calling for recommendations.No wafer defect noted nothing seemed wrong with the mass.No leakage noted.Reviewed products in use: changed every 7-10 days, used crusting technique with stomahesive powder and sensicare brand wipes when redness or open areas present.The consumer used zinc oxide in immediate mucocutaneous junction area.Eakin seal used and then belt applied.Paper tape was used around the edges of the wafer.The consumer did not feel like pressure was a component and denied a hernia or bulge in stoma location but based on view from photo, the abdomen was very rounded.He stated that he did not wear the belt tight but the open areas appeared to be mainly under where the wafer flange was located.The physician diagnosed him with cellulitis and yeast and provided an oral antibiotic and oral anti-yeast but no cultures or biopsies performed.Discussed although photos provided, we could not provide a diagnosis and discussed possible causes: mechanical injury from removal, pressure injury from belt or flange, unrelated skin infection (bacterial or fungal), undiagnosed skin pathology, wearing appliance too long.The consumer was unsure of the cause.He did not think it was a mechanical injury but was willing to try adhesive remover spray.The end user will also try sample of stomahesive wafer to trial.He did not think it was a pressure.Reminded belt should be snug but not tightened.He stated that it did improve with the oral medications as the areas were now closed and were open.Discussed changing more often but consumer was afraid changing more than one time a week would be detrimental to skin.The end user continued using the product.
