Case Study Location
UK
Patient
13 year old, young girl.
Type of Stoma
At 11 years of age, Claire had a subtotal colectomy for ulcerative colitis.
Before Dermacol
For 2 years, Claire managed her ileostomy without any problems. At the age of 13, she developed a small painful ulcer on her peristomal skin, which had arious topical treatments applied for the management of pyoderma gangrenosum. Her skin heals, then breaks down, requiring the use of several seals/washers.
With Dermacol
In January 2009, Claire used Dermacol with success. This is her report:
“I like them 'cos they protect my stoma from any excess output and they make it easier to attach the base plate as they help my stoma stay in place. They r not too sticky like sum other washers/doughnuts I have used before and they come straight off with my base plate when I change my bag.
They are neat and easy to use you don't need to cut them to size as they are stretchy. Thank you for asking”
Thanks to Claire and Mandy Smith SCN,
