Abstract:
Peristomal dermatitis is a frequent problem in stoma patients. This causes problems with the adhesion of stoma material. Not being able to rely on a leak-free stoma plaque has major social consequences for stoma patients. In this article we discuss the differential diagnosis, pathophysiology and therapy based on a patients case. If the dermatitis is based on an irritating contact dermatitis due to the stoma adhesive, the dermatitis should be treated with a local corticosteroid, preferably in the form of a nasal spray.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
