Abstract
People with a stoma need to wear an appliance to contain the stomal output of faeces or urine and to protect the peristomal skin in order to improve adhesion of the appliance and prevent troublesome leaks. However, even if an appliance is worn, peristomal skin infections and sore skin can and do occur. These can be bacterial infections such as folliculitis or contact irritant dermatitis. Jennie Burch explains that thorough assessment and often simplistic changes are necessary to maintain the integrity of peristomal skin.
