Abstract
Skin complications in individuals with an ostomy are widely reported and can cause physical and emotional challenges in everyday life. Chronic parastomal skin complications can be difficult to heal and cause significant pain.Two patients presented to the stomal therapy clinic for treatment and were diagnosed with chronic parastomal skin ulceration. Following standard treatment of wound management, topical corticosteroid ointment, and appliance review, the ulcers either were not improving or had reoccurred. Treatment with a combination cream consisting of 0.2% hyaluronic acid and 1% silver sulfadiazine was initiated, and both patients demonstrated complete healing.Treatment of parastomal skin ulceration with dual-action cream 0.2% hyaluronic acid and 1% silver sulfadiazine was successful for these two patients, with a reduction in pain and purulent fluid noted throughout treatment, in addition to a reduced cost of treatment when compared with standard protocols.
