Ostomy powders are designed to help manage skin irritation, moisture, and breakdown around the stoma. They lightly coat the skin to absorb excess moisture and create a smoother base for your barrier. This helps improve adhesion and may reduce discomfort caused by redness or weepy skin.
Powder is often used when the skin is too damp for adhesives to stick properly. A thin layer can make a noticeable difference in comfort and wear time. Many people use powders as part of a crusting technique, pairing them with barrier wipes to protect sensitive areas. When used correctly, powder supports healthier skin and a more reliable seal.
- When should I use ostomy powders? Powder is most helpful when the skin is moist, irritated, or breaking down and needs protection before applying a barrier.
- Can I use too much powder? Yes. A light dusting works best. Using too much can prevent proper adhesion.
- Are ostomy powders safe for sensitive skin? Most powders are gentle and designed specifically for delicate or irritated skin around the stoma.
